...maneuver that will be controlled largely by ground-based computers. Only after the Gemini capsule and its target satellite have come within sight or radar range of each other will the pilot take charge. Even then a small computer will tell him how to make the two courses intersect. During the final approach, he will really "fly" the capsule. When sufficient experience has been accumulated, he will mate capsule with target, perhaps orbiting with it and taking advantage of its fuel stores and propulsion...
Outside of employer-employee relationships the lives of the two races rarely intersect. An exception occurred this weekend when the Campbell's Soup factory held its annual open house, a "once a year day" complete with fried, chicken, cold soda, popular music, and softball. But the factory needs every bit of Negro support it can muster. Along with Vita Vita Foods (who distribute Eastern shore pickles and herring up and down the Atlantic seaboard) it is the town's chief source of Negro employment: about 90 per cent of the colored people here work in one of the two plants...
...those on the outside with added oak trim and floors of slate bordered in polished wood. Both have stages for theatrical purposes. The rooms will be dominated by abstract chandeliers by Oliver Andrews. The only other art fixtures embodied in the original design are several abstract plaques which will intersect corners of the building. They are the work of Constantine Nivola, the artist who produced the graffito in the Quincy House Dining Room...
Into Conjunction. In Hindu astrology there are nine planets: Saturn, Mars. Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, the sun, the moon, and the moon in its ascending and descending nodes. In their orbital paths, two or more of the planets occasionally conjoin, meaning that an imaginary line from earth into space would intersect them. But rarely are five planets conjoined; and a conjunction of five planets and the sun (which will simultaneously be eclipsed by the moon) will take place at 5:47 p.m. Indian time on Feb. 3 (7:17 a.m. E.S.T.). Moreover, astrologers note that this zodiacal rarity will happen...
...stove to achieve was that even without education all men can prefer good music to bad. He said in a discussion of his earliest work, The Concord Song Book: "The place where lasting music will be built is where the two great roads of popularity and of lasting beauty intersect. In the pursuit of music, as in the acquirement of every form of artistic expression, we encounter the aesthetic paradox, that what we like first we seldom like best --that we prefer our second choice to our first.... The real way to grow the power of musical or any other...
