...control" television appearance shortly after the assassination attempt against President Ronald Reagan. Thus Haig looked upon his first overseas trip as Secretary of State not only as an opportunity to sound out Middle East leaders, but also as a chance to refurbish his image. Haig's journey was just one part of the Administration's road show: Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger was in Europe last week attending a meeting of the Nuclear Planning Group of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization...
...after Soviet Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin made the first manned space flight. But for Columbia's commander, John Young, 50, it was old hat. During the fiery, jolting liftoff, his pulse hardly climbed above 85 beats a minute; this was, after all, Young's fifth such journey, the most by any American astronaut.

Columbia's interior is pressurized to a normal earth atmosphere so the astronauts will be able to wear comfortable cotton coveralls for most of the trip. Young and Crippen will sleep in their cockpit seats, tote along an electric food warmer to heat up freeze-dried and other packaged food (sample menu: shrimp cocktail, beefsteak, butterscotch pudding and grape drink). On future missions, with as many as seven people aboard, Columbia will have a fully equipped galley as well as sleeping bunks. Young...
