...mourning her father's death, accompanies her mother aboard ship only to discover her affair with an officer. The sweeping camera movements which follow this child through the ship and express her curiosity and longing, ironically stress the objects and walls that confine her movement through the cramped lower deck. But complete imprisonment is prevented both by her smooth motion down long corridors and through crowded rooms, and by her detached, wondering viewing of objects. At the end of the sequence she flees the crowded lower deck and goes above, into the open air. The beauty...
...deck of the Princeton, Stafford, Cernan and Young looked remarkably fresh as they emerged from the recovery helicopter. Clean-shaven, clad in neat, light blue flight overalls (they had changed aboard the helicopter), the astronauts were greeted by cheers from the Princeton's white-suited sailors and the shrill welcoming notes of boatswain's pipes. Then Stafford summarized the feelings of the crew with a sentence that a few years ago would have been appropriate only in science fiction: "It's really great to be back from the moon...
...original plans called for Apollo 11 astronauts to remain sealed inside their spacecraft until it was lifted to the deck of the recovery carrier. There, they would walk through a plastic tunnel running from the hatch of the spacecraft into a hermetically sealed van on the carrier deck.

Recently, however, NASA officials began to have second thoughts about the discomforts the astronauts would endure if they were...
...astronauts emerge and climb aboard an attached raft, each will slip into a "biological isolation garment" brought along by a frogman who will be similarly outfitted. The suit is equipped with a filter that should block any organisms that the astronauts exhale. After a helicopter ride to the carrier deck, they will enter the van and follow the original quarantine plans...
...Motors has just introduced an all-aluminum 550-h.p. engine for the Corvette Sting Ray; with that power pack, the car costs about $9,000. Ford hopes to lure speedsters with a souped-up Mustang, called the "Boss 302." The auto is built with a wing across the rear deck to provide a downward thrust that adds traction to the wheels; it also has fixed louvres as bizarre sunshades on the rear window. The still more powerful "Boss 429" has a 375-h.p. engine that will whip the car from zero to 60 m.p.h. in less than six seconds. Even...
