...those who had been caught abroad by the invasion, were indeed returning. But others, notably scientists, professors and artists, sought asylum abroad. Australia sent a Qantas Boeing jetliner to Vienna to pick up 164 refugees, including many scientists and their families, for emigration Down Under. Canada also sent a jet. Under the circumstances, the refugees could hardly be blamed for choosing the freedom that had been so cruelly wrested from their countrymen at home...
...military also fears that a bombing halt in the panhandle would allow the North Vietnamese to move artillery and jet fighters to the very rim of South Viet Nam, where they could operate with impunity at close range. But beyond such specific worries, U.S. military leaders also weigh a bombing pause in terms of momentum and morale. The air campaign is the only part of a frustrating war in which the allies exert control over the tactical situation and the pace of the action...
...flight cockpit" instrument array, a short rear deck and the long hood that is fast becoming a Detroit cliche. Mustang, the car that inspired the look, is becoming fast, period. Next year's "Mach 1" model will be able to live up to the name of its "Cobra Jet Ram-Air V8" engine. Top speed: 150 m.p.h.-plus...
...Apollo program has also received a boost from scientists at the Jet Pro pulsion Laboratory, who recently discovered the cause of unexpected variations in the altitude and speed of earlier unmanned lunar orbiters. Such flight deviations, which could drop a module several miles off target, were caused by local increases in lunar gravity brought about by areas of dense material beneath the five circular maria, or "seas." The concentrations of mass, called "mascons," may have been caused by the impact of large meteors, which generated enough heat to melt material below the surface of the moon and form regions...
Their own figures, the two Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientists explain, are based not only on data from Venus 4 but also on transmissions from the U.S. spacecraft Mariner 5 which flew past Venus less than two days after the Russian landing. According to JPL, the Russian capsule stopped sending signals when it was 3,774 miles from the center of Venus. But recent measurements by four powerful U.S. radar installations have established that the planet's radius is only 3,759 miles. That means that at the instant Venus 4 stopped transmitting, it must have been 15 miles above...
