TIME'S own aeronautics expert, Washington Correspondent Jerry Hannifin, contributed voluminously to this week's Skylab story, which was written by Senior Writer Ed Magnuson, and to Science Editor Fred Golden's accompanying report on space exploration.

He plans to take over the world after he destroys all intelligent life by spraying the planet with a deadly extracted nerve gas from a rare South American orchid. Drax surrounds himself with luxury, not to mention an Asian Martial arts expert, two hungry Dobermans, and steel-mouthed giant Jaws (Richard Kiel) who pursued Bond through The Spy Who Loved Me with as much dispatch as Goldfinger's hat-tossing valet, Odd Job.
