Though they were nearing the end of their second month in space, Kovalenok and Ivanchenkov appeared to be thriving aboard Salyut, understandably. The spacious ship includes such amenities as a new electronic control system that the Soviets say can take over navigation and control chores from the crew, a shower (Skylab has one too) and a small water-recycling plant. There is also an abundance of scientific equipment, for both observing the earth and performing tests in space. Last week, for instance, the cosmonauts began a new experiment with sprouting seeds to see how well they might grow in zero...
...onboard computers will compile and analyze the details of the plane's performance and present the crew with up-to-the-minisecond accounts of engine efficiency, fuel consumption, progress of flight and miles to destination. Flight crew members will become monitors of the automated systems, and the new instrument panels are designed to help them keep constant watch on performance. They no longer will have to rely on a clutter of spinning indicators or round dials. Information will be displayed, simply and concisely, on digital readouts, vertical scales and bright, television-style screens. A much improved radar will display...

The man in the director's chair is close friend George Cukor, 79, the grand old master who guided Hepburn through nine previous films. For the crew it's an ideal summer frolic amidst flint hedges and yellow gladioli, and it leads to a little pastoral reflection. Says Hepburn: "First God made England, Ireland and Scotland. That's when he corrected his mistakes and made Wales...
...cynicism that eddied around him; there were those who thought his career was a classic case study in media hype. Although most of these critics never listened to his records or saw him in concert, the charge still stung. Celebrity had hit Springsteen with unexpected force. One of his crew members recalls that the afternoon of his first London concert Springsteen found every seat in the house covered with enthusiastic, often evangelic, reviews and "started tearing them all up. He just wasn't ready." Later, he handled the fuss in the same way he deals with all the reflections...
