Even before the University of Hawaii's season-opening football game with Texas A. & I. last week, there had been a show of another kind of power and agility at the state's new $30 million Aloha Stadium in Honolulu. Two weeks ago, four of the stadium's six huge, 147-ft.-high grandstand sections were swung closer to the playing field. That maneuver marked the final successful test of the revolutionary 50,000-seat stadium, which uses advanced technology to change its shape and purpose by literally sliding on a cushion...
When sports-happy Hawaiians began planning a new stadium in Honolulu eight years ago, they wanted an all-purpose arena that would serve equally well for football and baseball, a neat trick never satisfactorily performed. For example, when stadiums basically designed for football are also used for baseball, the outfield is likely to be so shallow that even weak hitters tend to turn into Hank Aarons.

Waving and smiling as they walked into the hospital, the astronauts asked officials to reassure their wives back in Houston. "Tell them we're feeling pretty good," said Stafford...
...E.D.T. on July 24 after nine days aloft, Apollo is scheduled to come down in the Pacific some 345 miles west of Honolulu, where choppers from the helicopter carrier New Orleans will be ready to pluck the men and capsule out of the sea. Almost certainly, it will be the last such splashdown. In the future U.S. astronauts will touch down on jjmways, using the space shuttle-a cross between plane and rocket-scheduled for its first test flight...
...chief aim would be to restore farm production so that Cambodia might be "completely independent of all foreigners." Meanwhile, the ousted President of the fallen Cambodian government, Marshal Lon Nol, was quietly adjusting to a new life with his family in a $103,000 bungalow in suburban Honolulu. At Camp Pendleton, Calif., the man who replaced him briefly as head of state, Saukham Khoy, 60, disclosed that Lon Nol had been paid $1 million by his own government to leave the country on April 1. "It was a good buy," Saukham Khoy insisted last week. In Hawaii...
