NASA has no intention of letting Apollo 11's birthday pass unnoticed. In Washington, Armstrong, Aldrin and their stay-in-orbit partner Michael Collins will be reunited for a round of ceremonies, capped by a replay of the original moon walk late at night at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. In Texas another old Apollo hand, Christopher Kraft, the director of the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, will preside at space-day ceremonies; he will open a temporary post office to cancel space-commemorative stamps for philatelists. At the Kennedy Space Center, a giant...
Indeed, NASA is busily renting out payload space. For $10,000 its salespeople are offering a "Getaway Special," a package for research experiments involving less than 200 Ibs. and measuring under 5 cu. ft. Two early takers: Film Makers Steven Spielberg and Michael Phillips (Close Encounters of the Third Kind) for a project that they are still keeping secret. Eventually the shuttle may be used for far bolder enterprises: assembling solar power satellites that can collect the sun's rays and beam that concentrated energy down to earth; erecting giant antennas that could revolutionize global communications; and putting together...
Psychologist Michael Russell thinks the synchronizing factor is odor. In an experiment at San Francisco State University, Russell relied on a colleague named Genevieve, who had a regular 28-day cycle, did not shave under her arms and never used deodorant.

After four months, he found that the volunteers converged from an average of 9.3 days apart in their cycles to 3.4 days, and four of the women synchronized to within one day of Genevieve's cycle. A control...

He repeated this two weeks ago to Senate Finance Committee Chairman Russell Long and House Ways and Means Chairman Al Ullman. Riccardo asked for tax relief that would bring an immediate cash refund to the company...
Needless to say, Bond finds there is more at stake than the mere theft of a space shuttle. A power-hungry aerospace magnate, Drax (Michael Lonsdale), who prides himself on a sense of drama in his death-traps, brings together the seedlings of a master-race. He plans to take over the world after he destroys all intelligent life by spraying the planet with a deadly extracted nerve gas from a rare South American orchid. Drax surrounds himself with luxury, not to mention an Asian Martial arts expert, two hungry Dobermans, and steel-mouthed giant Jaws (Richard Kiel) who pursued...
