Kicks or Instruments. The smoke screen lifted even further at the companion trial of three Turkish cops accused of beating Sergeants Dale McCuistion and James King in an attempt to make them confess to dealings with Mrs. Gall.

Wilkinson, the first U.S. officer to see the sergeants after their arrest, told the court he had not been permitted to talk to them until they had been in prison about 30 hours.

It might burn up in the earth's atmosphere or miss it widely, shooting far beyond and returning again. It might make many different swings, perturbed by the influence of the moon. One thing was certain: it would not go into a permanent orbit around both earth and moon. The moon is relatively fast on its own orbit around the earth; by the time Lunik III swung back, the moon would have moved...
