Three black mice named Moe, Sally and Amy were installed in a heavily shielded model of the U.S. man-in-space capsule last week, along with liberal rations of oxygen, oatmeal, peanuts and gelatin and a variety of scientific instruments. Then the capsule itself was placed in the nose cone of an Atlas missile at Cape Canaveral, and the missile lofted 650 miles into space and down the Atlantic toward Ascension Island at speeds reaching 18,000 m.p.h. During the ride, the mice rode into the perilous inner Van Allen radiation belt and were also treated to ten minutes...
...animal kingdom, Moe, Sally and Amy are junior to the U.S. monkeys Able and Baker, who survived a 1,700-mile space trip in May 1959, but they went farther.*Though they apparently took the trip without noticeable ill effects, scientists plan to study them carefully. Sally and Amy will be mated with Moe, and all three will be mated with other mice. This sort of thing may strike Sally, Amy and Moe as rather tame after all they have been through, but the genetic lessons learned from radiation effects will be valuable for human space travelers...
...Last week hundreds of thousands of comic-strip readers were speculating on the birth of the aging heavyweight hero's second, child after ten years of married life, but because of matters legal, not medical, it was not even certain that the baby would ever be born. Reason: Moe Leff, longtime collaborator on the strip and its producer since the death in 1955 of Joe's creator, Ham Fisher, had sued to end his 20-year contract with Fisher's estate, quit drawing the daily strips distributed by the McNaught Syndicate to some 650 U.S. and foreign...
...trio consisted of mug-faced Moe Howard, his egg-bald brother Curly, and tuber-nosed Larry Fine. When Curly fell ill in 1946, he was replaced by brother Shemp, who, after his death in 1955, was in turn replaced by Old Vaudevillian Joe DeRita. Today the trio's comedy is still at eye level-Moe poking his fingers straight at the cornea. But the kids' enthusiasm has opened up the clubs to the Stooges, and the kids to the clubs. Most of the spots played by the Stooges have afternoon shows for children; one club offered...
Occasionally the curve would hang, and it was then that Moe Balboni and Mouse Kasarjian belted the home runs which accounted for the two Crimson scores. Balboni's round tripper came in the bottom of the seventh, and was a prodigious smash which carried over 350 feet down the left field line
