...Extra Mart. As the party on the rise, Labor now has a psychological edge. Wilson's stock has been buoyed by Britain's current balance-of-payments surplus, the first in seven years, and by his cocky show of confidence two weeks ago at Labor's own annual meeting in Brighton. At the Tory conference, one speaker compared Wilson to Richard III, he of the "crooked back" and "evil mind" who rallied his troops and "rode off full of hope to his doom in Bosworth Field." In the end, that fate may befall Edward Richard George Heath...
Much of the time at Brighton, Ted Heath was almost the extra man. Delegates cheered such thunderers as Extremist Enoch Powell, known in some quarters as "the literate George Wallace" for his racial stance. Only on the closing day did Heath manage to score some points...
...that, the Mets have never faced an outfit as tough as the Orioles. Man for man, the Birds are probably the finest baseball team since the New York Yankee juggernauts of the '50s. In their playoff series with Minnesota, they broke the Twins' spirit by taking two extra-inning contests, 4-3 and 1-0, then belted 18 hits as they rolled through the final game 11-2 for a swift playoff sweep. The Oriole pitching staff, headed by Mike Cuellar (23-11), Dave McNally (20-7) and Jim Palmer (16-4), is far superior to Atlanta...
...prevent such a failure from happening again, the Observatory scientists checked the OSO-VI transformer for gas bubbles while keeping it sealed in a vacuum chamber for a month. They also added an extra circuit that automatically turns the telescope off when too much electric power is produced. The satellite can be turned back on again once the danger is past...
...telescope that was originally slated for OSO-VI was a more advanced model, but a shortage of time and funds prevented it from flying. When the astronomers realized that the advanced version would not be ready in time, an extra copy of the earlier OSO-IV telescope was pressed into service (the Observatory had built a prototype, a flight instrument, and a spare for that satellite). This instrument was overhauled and improved in less than a year-an unusually short time for space hardware...
