Last week, in a classic comeback story, Slayton got his wish. NASA named him to the crew of the Apollo spacecraft that will rendezvous and dock with a Russian Soyuz spaceship in 1975. His crewmates will be Air Force Brigadier General Thomas Stafford, a veteran of one Apollo and two Gemini flights, and Civilian Astronaut Vance Brand, another space rookie. Though obviously elated, the crewcut, 48-year-old Slayton-who will be the oldest American to go into space by the time of the launch -greeted the news in his characteristic gritty style: "I'd rather...
...October relieved his outspoken War Minister, General Mohammed Sadek; no reason was ever stated but anti-Sadat army grumbling was at the root of it. Afterward there were rumors in Cairo of abortive military coups. Egyptian journalists openly agitate against censorship. In a recent incident in Alexandria, 7,000 dock workers stormed a police station to free fellow laborers who had been arrested for participating in a wildcat strike.

I'll see you in hell before I submit," he croaked at the judges. "I shall be dead within six days. Live with that...
Within five years, Luther was succeeded by Reo Fortune, a New Zealand psychologist. Mead met him on her way home from Samoa, and when the ship landed in England, was so deeply engrossed in talk with him that she did hot even see Luther waiting on the dock to greet her. Seven years later Reo was replaced by British Anthropologist Gregory Bateson under oddly similar circumstances. Emerging from a joint study trip to Kenakatem in New Guinea, Margaret and Reo joined Gregory in the nearby village of Kankanamun to compare notes for a few days. Though they had not previously...
