...Caroline) with three London deejays: Andy Archer, Crispin St. John and Peter Chicago. He paid them in advance, but somehow he neglected to pay Mi Amigo's Dutch captain or the six-man crew. Between Christmas and New Year's, the crew quit. Captain Will van der Kamp, in the best seagoing tradition, refused to abandon ship. But feeling threatened by the deejays, he armed himself with a rifle and locked himself in his cabin on the bridge...
...Rahilly promptly flew to The Netherlands from his luxurious pad in London to confer with the mutinous crew. The long-haired Irish entrepreneur is a good talker, and three of the crew agreed to accompany him back to the ship, where he tried to calm Van der Kamp. Listeners to Radio Caroline got only a hint of the drama. Just before it went off the air following the crew rebellion, Peter Chicago apologized: "Sorry, sorry, but there's a mutiny on board." After the captain seemed pacified, Crispin St. John resumed broadcasting with an inspirational message...
Young Barry had certainly been right, as it turned out, to enter a special election for Congress. Last week he handily beat Democrat John K. Van de Kamp, 64,675 to 48,933, in a runoff in California's 27th District to replace Republican Ed Reinecke, who took over as the state's Lieutenant Governor when Robert Finch moved to Washington as Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare.

Both candidates hit hard at campus turmoil and stressed law and order. The result was a contest devoid of issues. With both men rigorously ruling...
Circular Orbits. One characteristic of the unseen Barnard planet disturbed Van de Kamp: its orbit seemed too elliptical in comparison with the nearly circular orbits of most solar-system planets. Patiently continuing his monitoring of the star, he exposed more photographic plates, refined his data, and early this year came to the conclusion that Barnard's wobbles are caused not by a single planet in an unusual orbit but by two planets in nearly circular orbits...
