...homes. Unquestionably, though, it will result in at least a temporary pause while administrative gears are shifted. For Gardner, one of the ablest and most popular Administration figures on Capitol Hill, the shift promises nothing but trouble. Asked if it meant "transferring the kitchen across the street"-putting the heat on him instead of Howe-Gardner smiled wanly and replied: "I wouldn't be surprised...
Running the third leg of the mile relay, Dave McKelvey slaughtered Dave Gialson of Princeton on the backstretch to give Harvard a lead it never lost. In the "slow" heat, Harvard pulled out the win by clocking a 3:14.1 -- .2 seconds better than Cornell's time in the second heat. The quartet of Frank Snowden (49.7), Shooter Haggerty (48.8), Dave McKelvey (47.5), and Jeff Huvelle (48.1) tied the Harvard record set last year in the Heps...
Western experts are reasonably sure that Soyuz 1, designed to re-enter the atmosphere and descend at a controlled attitude, had only one surface protected by a heat shield against the high temperatures of reentry. If Soyuz was indeed tumbling upon reentry, as many U.S. experts believe, its unshielded surfaces would also have been exposed to the direct frictional effects of the atmosphere. As these surfaces began to burn up, temperatures in the spacecraft cabin would quickly have reached fatal levels...
...last week all the works, including the Russians', were up in place in the heat-and humidity-controlled museum, and all hands were sufficiently recovered to toast the new exhibition (in champagne) at its opening reception.

All the same, he says, "people with a real knowledge of history should get it down. Admittedly, it's only a part of history, but that part can be balanced with other information." Though burned by the Kennedy experience, Thomas still delights in editing live history. He expects no problems with Svetlana. "In this case," he says, "the lady is mature and experienced." Indeed, Thomas seems to regard almost anyone...
