Belinsky may well turn out like Bobo Holloman, the only other rookie to pitch a no-hitter, who lasted less than a full season with the St. Louis Browns in 1953. Even if Bo winds up beaning Roger Maris or hurling every other pitch over his catcher's head, though, he will have at least injected some life into the stiffening corpse of the American League...

...their frail capsules in the hostile sea. Costly fleets of ships and aircraft are required for their rescue, and many a U.S. spaceman is convinced that the craft would be far better off landing on land. The best space landing spot in the U.S., says the Bulletin of the Holloman, N. Mex., section of the American Rocket Society, is right near Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico...
...Force became the principal U.S. rocket-launching agency, it set up shop at Cape Canaveral and flew its long-range missiles over the ocean. The Russians stuck to the land, seem to have found no special difficulty in bringing their spacecraft down on solid ground. Eventually, argues the Holloman Bulletin, the U.S. will have to do the same. Large manned spaceships returning from orbit or the moon are far too valuable to drop into the unpredictable ocean. If they head for a land spaceport, they can be guided by radar stations from positions that are stationary and precisely located. Their...
Chimp No. 65 had been trained at Holloman to work a simple system of lights and levers. He had learned that if he pushed one lever at least once every 20 seconds, he would avoid a slight electric shock in the pad of one of his feet. When a blue light flashed, he knew that if he pushed another lever in less than five seconds, he would also avoid a shock. His performance would show how much his psychology was affected by the stresses and strains of space flight...
