...sent a man into space since May 1963-when Astronaut Leroy Gordon Cooper stayed in orbit for 34 hr. 20 min. Cooper's flight signaled the end of the Mercury program and the start of the Gemini series of earth orbits in a two-man capsule. Gemini fell two years behind schedule because of technical problems and congressional heel-dragging on appropriations. This year the spacemen hope to make up for lost time: a three-orbit trip is scheduled for April, a four-day attempt for this summer, and if all goes well, there will be a week-long...

...Channel and said: "I can't afford to swim more than 30 hours. I have an important business appointment in Spain day after tomorrow." Then he waded in, hoping to become the second man to complete the 44-mile round trip to France and back. He took 12 hr. 35 min. to get halfway, was back to within eight miles of Dover when the channel turned against him, forced him to quit. But California Schoolgirl Leonore Modell, 14, doesn't have to worry about the boss. So she swam the chilly channel against the tide in 15 hr...
