...Loop the Loop. What did the new Russian shoot actually accomplish? Though most Western scientists feel certain that the cosmonauts did not try to mate their capsules in an actual docking maneuver, some believe that Nikolayev and Popovich did maneuver their craft toward each other in space. Cleveland's Sohio tracking station said that from its calculations Vostok III and Vostok IV were within a mile of each other at one point, then drifted nearly 2,000 miles apart. "We're convinced that if they had the proper equipment they could have touched," says the station...
...Gherman Titov's bout of nausea during his ly-orbit flight had raised serious doubts about man's physical ability to withstand the effects of prolonged weightlessness. But last year Soviet scientists toughened the cosmonauts' training program to help them combat space sickness. New whirling and loop-the-loop exercises were prescribed; after rigorous physical exertion, a cosmonaut was required to stand on his head for long periods. The change in the training regime apparently worked; exultant Soviet scientists reported that neither Nikolayev nor Popovich suffered nausea aloft...

...about for some way to speed the final lap of the journey for the commuters his trains had delivered to North Western's Madison Street station. Said he: "We discovered one completely unused 'expressway' right in the heart of the city. It is wider than most Loop streets; it is the one remaining traffic artery in downtown Chicago that is completely free of people, vehicles, stop lights and 'No Left Turn' signs...
