...three difficult but largely successful rendezvous attempts (TIME, June 10). Even so, the Gemini 9 crew hoped to salvage most of the mission by successfully completing their last and most dramatic assignment: Astronaut Cernan's scheduled 21-hour walk in space. "Hallelujah!" shouted Cernan as he opened his hatch and emerged into space on schedule...

He attached a rearview mirror to the docking bar near Gemini's nose so that Stafford could watch and photograph him through a forward-facing window while he maneuvered near the aft end of the craft. Just behind the hatch, he clamped a 16-mm. movie camera into place...

Then, two hours and nine minutes after he had stepped out into space, he climbed back into his hatch, panting with exhaustion...

Instructor Robert Hatch, 34, who holds an M.A. in animal nutrition from the University of Nebraska, showed just how easy the courses are one day recently when he outlined eight ways to dehorn calves, using wall charts of cattle anatomy. Caustic paste on a calf's horn buttons will work, he said, but it can cause sores on the mother cow's udder after nursing. Various gouges and electric burners are also effective, but Hatch advocated a saw. "There may be lots of bleeding," he told students. "If there is, you can clamp...
