Having lost the race to the moon, the Russians are clearly determined not to arrive second in other areas of space. Though last month's linkup of a manned spaceship with a larger unmanned vehicle was apparently marred by difficulties, it showed the keen Soviet interest in establishing the first earth-orbiting space station. The Russians are also aiming at more distant targets. Last week they launched a massive, 10,230-lb. spacecraft toward Mars...
...lead in 17 minutes time, then tried to catch up. Not a good game plan. That's like Faye Ray letting King Kong hold her hand, and then thinking she can get away. Word is, at least, that Bob Flanders and Gerry Hart will be back in the Brown linkup, and that could make a significant difference. On the other hand, passing is what the Bruins need, and passing is what can hurt Colgate. But, of course, the so-called Red Raiders are probably still on a little ego trip after upsetting Princeton.

Within the past two weeks, the Russians took two steps in that direction: a second automatic linkup of two unmanned spacecraft, Cosmos 212 and 213, in earth orbit last week; and, five days earlier, an unmanned orbiting of the moon by the spacecraft Luna...
...News Special Report, and through a satellite linkup, Walter Cronkite was speaking from his desk in Manhattan to Chief European Correspondent Charles Collingwood in Tokyo. "Well, Charles," said Walter, at the end of the half-hour, "get yourself some rest and hurry on home with the rest of the film you're carrying." "Thank you, Walter," replied Collingwood. "I've got a lot more to tell...
