There she sees Fashion Designer Pauline Fordham in a silver metallic coat, Starlet Sue Kingsford in a two-piece pink trouser suit with a lovely stretch of naked turn, Los Angeles-born Pop Artist Jann Haworth Blake, Detroit-born Negro Model Donyale Luna. Later, with Michael Rainey, 25, owner of Hung On You, she dances at Dolly's discothèque in Jermyn Street, where the deafening beat comes from the Action, the Stones, the Who, the Animals, the Mindbenders, and Cilia Black, and the right drink (at 98?) is Campari and soda-because...

At the sound, tears welled in the eyes of Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev. Jumping to his feet, he led the 6,000 Soviet and foreign delegates in rhythmic applause...

Astronomer Sir Bernard Lovell, 52, who used the University of Manchester's 250-ft. radio telescope at Jodrell Bank, England, to track the Soviet spaceship Luna 10 on its successful moon mission, jumped at the chance of providing a maneuver-by-maneuver account that enabled the free world to learn of the first lunar or bit before most Russians...
Noting that Luna's signals sounded like "a skirl of bagpipes," Lovell relayed them by loudspeaker to reporters gathered at the observatory and provided an interpretive narrative of the flight. As the signal frequency decreased, he explained that Luna was accelerating under the pull of lunar gravity. A sudden increase in frequency followed by fading of the signal led Lovell to believe that a retrorocket had been fired, slowing Luna down. He interpreted the erratic signals that were received afterward to mean that the spacecraft had successfully achieved a 300-to 400-mile-high lunar orbit, but that...
Britain's Queen plunged with 14 pages, Harper's Bazaar put his work on last month's cover, and Vogue's current issue leads off with Top Model Donyale Luna (TIME, April 1) in one of Paco's shifts, which amply displays her body (models in the U.S. prefer to wear a body stocking underneath...
