THOMAS P. STAFFORD, 44, Apollo's Annapolis-trained commander, is an Air Force brigadier general, a coolly gifted pilot and co-author of two basic manuals on test flying. Stafford has logged 290 hr. 15 min. in space, dating back to ins first Gemini flight in 1965 with Wally Scinrra. In orbit, Math Winz Stafford liked to amuse inmself by using pad and pencil to race mission control's computers in solving maneuvering problems; sometimes he won. Stafford was born in Weatherford, Okla., and he and ins wife Faye have two daughters. Though often nettled by Soviet secrecy...
...vulgar monster-something like Salvador Dali. If he fights it and reflects the blame for it on the audience (where it belongs), he may, with luck, come to resemble Robert Rauschenberg, whose latest prints-after a run at the Castelli Gallery in New York City-are on view at Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles...

...fairly candid about his dislikes. Neil Armstrong, who now teaches engineering at the University of Cincinnati, gets the highest marks for his "great balance and perspective."

Collins is awed by his Gemini 10 partner John Young, a country boy whose "aw shucks, 't aint nothing" demeanor masks a brilliant engineering mind...
...statement of intentions from a self-described "Gemini person," the ballet flows directly from Tetley's twin-track career. Born 48 years ago in Cleveland, he took classical training, then studied modern dance with Martha Graham and Hanya Holm. In Europe since 1962, he has worked mainly with the Netherlands Dance Theater. There his most publicized work was Mutations, an hour-long essay on aggression that ended with the dancers literally stripped bare...
