...unexpected from the president. But what is distressing is the way he has completely deceived the news agencies. There hasn't been a "candid White House official" in the five years that Nixon has been in office. Only a fool could believe that one has now suddenly arisen to leak honest stories to the American public. But that is the way the national press has been talking. As so often in the past, it has once again let this country down...
...first child of a positive-negative couple is usually unaffected. But if the baby is Rh-positive, and the chances are 3 in 5 that he will be, then there is an increasing chance of trouble in later pregnancies. Exposure to Rh-positive fetal blood, which may leak across the placenta or enter the maternal blood stream as a result of hemorrhage during delivery, can cause the Rh-negative mother to become sensitized, or "immunized," against future Rh-positive babies and produce antibodies that attack and destroy the babies' red blood cells...
...second sunshade to protect Skylab's bare spot (cabin temperatures dropped as much as eight degrees into the low 70s). They also reloaded their solar-telescope array with fresh film and set up a micrometeorite-measuring experiment. Meanwhile, Skylab continued to be plagued by glitches. A coolant leak was discovered in one air-conditioning system, and suspected in another. A short circuit briefly troubled the telescope mount. Several external lights, intended for use during the space walk, failed to work, as did a video-tape recorder and an automatic camera. Skylab's on-board teleprinter also broke down...
...sickness brought on by their exposure to zero G. During the initial stages of their mission, the crewmen-especially Lousma, who vomited several times-were barely able to perform routine housekeeping and experimental chores. But their "stomach awareness," as NASA euphemistically called it, was quickly overshadowed by the oxidizer leak...
...fact, space-agency officials were still hoping that there would be no need for it at all. For one thing, chemical tests at the Cape on samples of the oxidizer used for the Skylab mission showed that it was not contaminated and probably not responsible for the leak. Commented Kraft: "You always end up preparing yourself for the worst and you usually end up in a better position." He also sent word to the Skylab crew that they were still "go" for a full mission...
