...sign "Back Sept.1," and the office in Mississippi's Rankin County was closed because the circuit clerk has been "ill." In some counties, local registrars processed whites ahead of Negroes, then slowed to a snail's pace. In others, they let Negroes through the door only to propel them right back out after advising them to come back in 30 days to see if they had passed "the test"−though the new act bars the use of any kind of test to determine voting eligibility...
...developer of the booster stage, could produce lift-off thrusts of 18 million Ibs. Proponents of solids are even hoping that the Titan IIIC success will get NASA to change its mind and incorporate strap-on solid boosters in its Saturn V, the rocket that is being designed to propel man to the moon...
Perpetual motion seems to propel Alechinsky's art. In Brussels, at 17, he began studying typography, etching and book design, before his love of graphics led him to make endless editions of lithographs. Today his Paris studio is paved with lithographic stones. "It's like walking on pop art," he says.

During his 20 minutes outside the spacecraft, White took pictures, traded repartee with his partner and watched the earth slip by from Mexico to Bermuda. He used an oxygen-firing space gun to propel himself about...
...Mighty Mouse of the space age. On earth it develops no more thrust than several milli-pounds (engineers call it the "milli-mouse burp"), barely enough to lift a one-carat diamond an inch off a desk. But in frictionless, gravity-free space, such burps can propel the biggest payloads. And the ion rocket's assignment is just that: to take over the task of propelling huge space cargoes to the planets and back after the mighty chemical rockets lift them clear of the earth's gravitational pull...
