...pursuit of Salyut. Observers saw the two ships, shining as brightly as first-magnitude stars, crossing the night skies of northern Europe. Actually, Soyuz 10 was given a bigger boost than intended, and it arced into a 130-by 154-mile orbit, placing it above Salyut's path. Observed Flight Commander Vladimir Shatalov, 43: "Looks like you threw us up a bit too high. Well, it doesn't matter, we'll fix it." By briefly firing Soyuz's engine, the crew lowered the spacecraft's orbit. At week's end they had rendezvoused...
Oftedal stayed close to "Dadaji" (respected elder brother) during his five-day visit. Oftedal found out that the yogi was one of more than a thousand teachers in a rapidly growing world movement named Ananda Marga ("Path to Bliss"). Oftedal became increasingly excited, and Dadaji eventually suggested that he go to India. "It was very interesting," says Oftedal.

And it is full of surprises: about a month ago Ravenel and Lea Hunt, an assistant teacher of retarded children, began to feel an extraordinary attraction to each other. They had only recently met, and the attraction more perturbed than pleased them both, for each had thought of becoming a whole-timer. They went to Yatiishvaranda in Toronto, and, after long moments of suspense, he informed them that they ought to be married-as soon as possible. He married them yesterday, with the assistance...
Dave "learned how to underline books on the swaying subway, a feat of muscular discipline which involved bracing your legs against the floor, pushing hard against the seatback and tucking your elbows in close to your body. The underlining was a little wobbly, but it traced the wavering path of Dave's radical education." Roy is interviewed at Brandeis by its director of admissions, who, "a teacher of Irish literature on the side.... found Roy 'gentle as a chrysanthemum, smiling as a sunflower.'" Sue, in assuming her mother's role in caring for her Southern family, overcomes her fear...
