Barring medical complications, the men seemed to have reaffirmed the ability to live and work in space. Aboard Salyut, they performed such experiments as growing crystals in zero g, jettisoned the tangled antenna of the first radio telescope in orbit during an 83-min. space walk, and docked three times with unmanned Progress spacecraft bringing mail and supplies. For the Soviets, it all meant a major step toward a long-held dream: establishment of permanent manned spacelabs...
Much time is spent on an eye exercise in which Bo-and-Peepers concentrate on a single object for up to an hour. They are "out of orbit" (i.e., exempt from the twelve-minute work cycles) for this, and for lectures by Bo and Peep. The Two proclaim that Bo has been Jesus, Elijah and Moses in his former lives. The spacecraft is imminently expected. It will carry believers to an enigmatic "garden" where they will get "energy" from their coequal, the King of Kings, alias Chief of Chiefs, the god who created planet earth. Believers will live eternally...

...month sent back invaluable data on the ring around Jupiter. A cosmic ray physicist born in Iowa and educated at the University of Chicago, Stone teaches at Caltech and directs 100 scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He is now working on a 1983 "solar-polar" mission that will orbit two satellites in opposite directions around the sun's poles. The aim: to learn more about how energy flows from the sun and affects the earth's environment. Says Dr. Bruce Murray, director of the J.P.L.: "It's hard to say where we'll be in 1986, but Ed Stone...
...Pressure on Viet Nam is the only way we can improve the situation," says one Western ambassador in Bangkok. But who can apply that pressure? The U.S. does not have diplomatic relations with Hanoi-a fact that some observers believe pushed Viet Nam even further into Moscow's orbit. China, of course, has just fought a war with Viet Nam, while Moscow openly supports Hanoi's attempt to subdue Cambodia, The worldwide outcry over the refugees has only just begun to have an effect on Hanoi-but as for getting out of Cambodia, the Vietnamese so far have...
