Bright Planet. After completing their crucial rendezvous (TIME, March 14) and sending the Lunar Module they call Spider off into a looping 4,300-by-l 47-mile orbit, the astronauts were left alone in space with fully 97% of their mission objectives completed. The primary reason for remaining in orbit for another five days was to test the reliability of the Apollo systems. So the astronauts settled back for one of the most relaxed periods of any manned space flight to date, taking rest periods of ten hours or more. "The big events of today," cracked a NASA official...
Discussing coverage of the convention disorders, the Review noted approvingly that editors "nervously let their reporters set down uncomplimentary facts about the police and the mayor." But post-conventian coverage was something else. After out-of-town newsmen left Chicago, the Review claimed, "Mayor Daley was permitted to take over the media.

What miffed her even more was the fact that the Met had added three more Italian roles-she wanted to devote her voice to the Ring-and even carelessly scheduled one performance on the very day she was flying in from Europe. True...
Relatively few years were left to him before his death at the age of 78, but in that time, Streeter's "primitive" paintings won growing admiration. Currently, Beverly Hills' Sári Heller Gallery is mounting a show of his work, asking up to $25,000 for a painting...
