...percentages were everything, one might say we had made some spectacular advances in out-of-the-way places. In five years circulation in Greenland has nearly doubled-we now have eight subscribers there. And in Red China (pop. about 750 million) we have had our own great leap forward-from 3 to 20 copies, all to officials, and we hope they learn...
...limitations. Transport workers and civil servants are still forbidden to strike, and the government can still ban any walkout by declaring that its motivation is "political." But the measure is unquestionably a major step forward, and it brought a few whiffs of other new freedoms. For the first time, Spain's censored press was permitted to follow the bill as it went through the parliamentary machinery. There was even discussion of its provisions on television. And, unlike the rubber-stamp parliaments of old, this year's session gave the bill a thorough going-over. For six weeks...
...forward with the mortars when the ambush hit us," recalls the chunky Florida Negro. "There were Viet Cong everywhere-in the grass, in the trees and bushes, and in holes. The guy in front of me was killed. The guy behind the guy behind me was killed. There were all kinds of wounds-head, chest, abdomen, legs and arms. The captain and the sergeant major, they were killed. We formed a perimeter-really just a circle of people trying to protect themselves. "That's where I treated the wounded. I was just doing...
During the first three orbits of Gemini 6, Command Pilot Schirra made a number of ground-computed corrective maneuvers. To change his elliptical orbit into a circle that reached up closer to Gemini 7, he made several "posigrade" burns-bursts from his forward-thrusting rockets. At two hours and 18 minutes after launch, for instance, Schirra made a posigrade burn when Gemini 6 reached its second apogee over the Indian Ocean. That thrust helped the change from ellipse to circle by increasing the perigee from 100 to 140 miles above the earth; following the laws of orbital mechanics, though...
...eyeball" maneuvering. Both Schirra and Stafford literally had their hands full. Schirra's left hand was on the OAMS (Orbital Attitude Maneuvering System) translation stick, which controls Gemini's 85-Ib. and 100-lb. thrusters, and is-in NASA parlance-"direction oriented." When he wanted to move forward, he merely moved the stick forward; when he wanted to go into reverse, he pulled the stick back; he moved it right or left for sideward motion. In his right hand, he clasped a notched pistol grip that controlled smaller thrusters used to pitch, yaw or roll the Gemini around...
