THIS week, still hopeful that they can achieve the goal set by President Kennedy but aware that time is fast running out, U.S. spacemen will begin their final lunar thrust. Barring last-minute delays, Astronauts Walter Schirra, Walter Cunningham and Donn Eisele will be shot into earth orbit aboard Apollo 7 in the first manned flight of the spacecraft that will eventually carry astronauts to the moon. If Apollo lives up to NASA's expectations during its eleven-day mission, it will clear the way for a possible flight around the moon in December and the landing of astronauts...
...color pages). There, in computer-operated simulators, replicas of spacecraft interiors, they go through complete missions. The simulators move at a touch of the controls, actually vibrate during launch, and present changing views of the earth, moon and stars during their simulated missions. Before they blast off, Astronauts Schirra, Cunningham and Eisele will have spent an impressive 1,200 hours in preparing for their mission. They have had an unexpectedly long time to practice; this week's flight, scheduled for February 1967, was postponed after Astronauts Virgil Grissom, Edward White and Roger Chaffee died in a spacecraft fire during...
...What's at stake in this election is whether a senator should be a national spokesman for South Dakota or an ombudsman, a letter-answerer," says George Cunningham, McGovern's campaign manager...

So, in his solo, "Collage III," Cunningham lightly explodes from one motion to the next. There are no echoes in the dance. He sculpts random and beautiful moods in the air. For some the experience is wonderful...
...special note should be inserted concerning Cunningham's use of the prime dance sin--ugliness. Ugliness often figures in the movements: it is part of experience. The technical competence of this troupe is unsurpassed, hence their awkwardnesses are calculated. They do not want to float like swans or swing like Gower Champion. Cunningham's goal is creating new qualities of experience for his dancers and audiences. His concerts are magnificent events not to be missed...
