...Force envisions it, the orbiting lab will be a canister, about 41 ft. long and 10 ft. wide, that will be attached to a stripped-down Gemini. The two vehicles will be lofted together into space by a Titan IIIC rocket. Once they are in orbit, the spacemen will crawl through a hatch in the Gemini heat shield and enter the lab. For the return to earth, they will simply reverse the procedure, then detach from the 7½-ton canister and descend in the Gemini. Later on, other Gemini crews will take off from the earth, link...
...Japan, where the tube is derisively known as Ichi Oku So Hakuchi (for 100 million idiots), TV time is now so highly prized that spots are usually limited to 15 seconds each or to "crawl along" slogans that slither along the bottom of the tube even as the program goes on.

The explosion had cut off the power, making it impossible to open the 700-ton steel and concrete lid that seals the silo airtight.

Trapped workmen piled onto it in panic, and two wedged themselves hopelessly together in one narrow section of the ladderway, blocking those behind them. All 53 remaining in the silo...
...whole streets of the girls from public view and declared them off-limits to minors. In Frankfurt, bed and board of the late Rosemarie Nitribitt, the cruising floozy of the movie Das Mädchen Rosemarie, downtown traffic is jammed every night by fleets of motorized trollops. They crawl along in their Mercedes flashing their parking lights at prospective clients-then charging them $25 for double parking. When Munich banned them from its downtown area, angry prostitutes formally accused the city council of violating federal right-to-work laws. Then they moved to the suburbs, turning once quiet streets into...
