...hardly looked as if she had spent 2½ annoying hours in a plane stacked up over Kennedy Airport, only to emerge into the mid-90° steam bath that was Manhattan last week. As cool and beautiful as a nightblooming cereus, French Film Star Catherine Deneuve, 24, was over from Paris for three weeks of filming on The April Fools, a romantic comedy about two sufferers of mal de mariage. And pity the folks dying to show her the town. What with costumers, hairdressers, script girls and the rest, it was almost a week before Socialites Heidi Vanderbilt...
Going into the season's second half, eleven of the 20 big-league clubs are in the throes of attendance slumps. Ticket sales are 50,000 off last year's mid-season mark in Houston, 126,998 in Pittsburgh, 245,592 in Atlanta. In San Francisco, paid admissions are already down 277,182 from 1967-a season that was also disastrous at the box office. Total big-league attendance is off almost 6% this year. And it would be far worse except for Detroit, where the Tigers, driving toward their first American League pennant in 23 years, have...

Then they will have to race against the spring surface melt and hopefully arrive at Longyearbyen on Spitzbergen Island in mid-June. There the H.M.S. Endurance will be on hand to return them to England
...practical preliminary step toward planetary voyages, suggested Spacecraft Center Director Robert R. Gilruth, would be to orbit a giant, cigar-shaped capsule around the earth in the mid-1970s. The big space station, said Gilruth, would be 615 ft. long, carry a crew of 100, and rotate end-over-end 31 times a minute to create an artificial gravity for those on board. Freed from the earth's atmosphere, astronomers on the station could peer through telescopes for an undistorted view of the destination of future space trips. How would this ambitious multimillion-dollar project be financed? An idea...
