Last week the Mariner II spacecraft was 7,651,352 miles away from the earth and 28.9 million miles this side of Venus, its destination. As Mariner barreled away from the earth at 7,724 miles an hour toward a scheduled approach to Venus on Dec. 14, Pasadena's Jet Propulsion Laboratory announced that it will pass somewhat farther away from Venus than predicted -20,900 miles instead of 9,000 miles. The small rocket that adjusted its course on Sept. 4 seems to have pushed it slightly too hard, increasing its speed by 47 m.p.h. instead...
...quite six months later, Durie married Thomas H. Shevlin, son of a famed Yale football end (1902-05) and wealthy Minneapolis lumberman, Thomas Leonard Shevlin. The marriage, at Fort Lee, N.J., on July n, 1947, was Shevlin's second. His first wife, Lorraine, was the daughter of Pasadena Socialite Princess Laura Orsini; she had first been married to Robert McAdoo, son of President Wilson's Treasury Secretary. She is now married to Kentucky's Republican Senator John Sherman Cooper, and is a good friend of President and Mrs. Kennedy's. In divorcing Shevlin, Lorraine was ultimately...

Died. Edward Britt ("Ted") Husing, 60, radio voice of U.S. sports for two decades, whose golden tones and rapidfire 400 words-per-minute delivery kept two generations of football, boxing, track and golf fans with their ears to the loudspeaker; after a long illness; in Pasadena. A born and forever-after confirmed New Yorker, Husing tried various jobs, from carnival barker to seaplane pilot, before getting his first chance on radio in 1924, fibbing that he had a Harvard degree, and proving that he could "talk longer and louder" than any of the 600 other applicants for a WJZ announcer...
Unmanned exploration of the moon itself is the job of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. Mostly because of launch difficulties, none of the JPL's first four Ranger spacecraft has yet sent usable data back from the moon. But the next two are almost finished, and JPL considers them much superior to their predecessors. The job of Ranger 5 will be to land (at 100 m.p.h.) a package of tough instruments on the moon. A temperature-sensing device will report the moon's horribly hot and cold climate over a tiny radio...
