...continental shelf. Then instruments indicated a helium leak in the still-unoccupied deep-sea habitat, and Aquanaut Berry L. Cannon, 33, and two companions were sent below to make repairs. They descended to the 610-ft. level in a pressurized personnel transfer capsule (PTC) and were opening a hatch to enter Sealab when Navy officers watching a TV monitor on the surface saw Cannon begin to thrash about. "I saw his body jackknifing, making a rapid motion," says Captain George Bond, Sealab's chief medical officer. "Any time you see rapid motion in a diver, you know...
...crew's quarters. In the other spacecraft, Shatalov sealed off his own control room. After donning new spacesuits that have individual life-support systems, Khrunov and Eliseev emerged from Soyuz 5 and space-walked across to Soyuz 4. They entered the work compartment, sealed its outside hatch behind them, brought up the pressure and then opened the compartment to join Shatalov...
...contributions were perfectly legal. By making their donations to a citizen group for Rooney rather than to the candidate himself, the donors did not violate the Hatch Act provision prohibiting direct political contributions.

In place of the old inward-swinging, three-part hatch that took 90 sec. to open, Apollo 7 has a single outward-swinging hatch that can be opened in 10 sec. To snuff out any fire that might start, there is now an emergency venting system that can reduce cabin pressure in seconds. And while the spacecraft is on the pad, a mixture of 60% oxygen and 40% nitrogen has been substituted for the 100% oxygen of flight, further reducing the danger...
Welcome to Xanadu is a typical new thriller, as was John Fowles's The Collector. The plot is of the old-fashioned boy-terrorizes-girl variety-but with a psychotic twist added. Leonard Hatch, a self-styled poet spouting Nietzsche, comes down out of the New Mexico mountains, kidnaps a tomboyish 16-year-old farm girl and carries her back to his retreat in the hills. Soon, one learns that he is a fugitive from a mental institution, suffering from the endemic new thriller malady: an acute case of mothering so smothering that he is impotent...
