...Chanel's navy wool smoking suit (complete with white starched shirt front and miniature black bow tie), and of the '40s, with Givenchy's languorous silver-fox coat. Saint Laurent goes way back: "It's 1890," he says of his patchwork evening dress with leg-of-mutton sleeves. He does not say which year inspired his black otter coat, appliqued on the back with a Somalia panther skin; whenever it was, the panther apparently had a bad time of it; he looks properly appalled at his fate...
...peril until the age of 121, which ought to put the makeup men on their mettle. The putty looms large in Balsam's role as well; he plays a sly con artist whose enraged victims relieve him at various times of a hand, an ear, an eye, a leg and his scalp. And Faye? No makeup required. In her role as a gospel-spouting nymphomaniac, she performs in several stages of undress -once on the floor and once on a bed, where Hoffman pours gold coins on her belly...

Also to be left behind: medals and shoulder patches in memory of Yuri Gagarin, Vladimir Komarov, Virgil Grissom, Roger Chaffee and Edward White, five men who have died while in Soviet or U.S. space programs...
...earth's gravitational embrace and send it toward the moon. At a point 43,495 miles from the moon, lunar gravity exerted a force equal to the gravity of the earth, then some 200,000 miles distant. Beyond that crest, lunar gravity predominated, and Apollo was on the "downhill" leg of its journey...
