...Helicopter recovery ticked along as if automated. Soon Lovell, Haise and Swigert were on the carrier's flight deck, hearing Rear Admiral Donald Davis say, "We're glad you made it, boys." The ship's chaplain said a prayer of thanksgiving, and the three astronauts joined him. In Houston, Marilyn Lovell touched the universal mood when she said: "It was beautiful...
...Died. Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard, 46, Cleveland osteopath and central figure in a famed 1954 murder case; of as yet undetermined causes; in Columbus. After a nine-week trial that made headlines around the world, "Dr. Sam" was convicted of the brutal bludgeon murder of his wife Marilyn. Sentenced to life, he served nearly ten years before the Supreme Court upset his conviction in 1966 on the ground that "inherently prejudicial publicity" had prevented him from receiving a fair trial.

Lyric Triumphs. Like Beverly Sills, who also has never sung at the Met -and should-Marilyn Horne has been hailed in concerts and operas everywhere else. She also put in three years singing in provincial opera houses in Germany, an apprenticeship that left her able to cope with anything-including an orchestra pit so low that she lost a few bars because she could not see the conductor's baton. Subsequent triumphs at the San Francisco and Chicago Lyric Operas, Covent Garden and La Scala were proof of her versatility. In 1960, back in the U.S., she married Henry...
...been singing with Joan Sutherland since 1961. "It's like a fairy tale," Marilyn explains their collaboration. "We never have to work to sing together. We just learn our parts and come together, and it's been there all along." Her next new role will be as Fidès in Meyerbeer's Le Prophète, which she will sing this summer both in Turin and London. "Fidès is Norma for contraltos," she explains. "I'm looking forward to it." Meanwhile Rudolf Bing, the Met and its followers can look forward...
