Alexander, who graduated from Temple University and broke through Philadelphia's color line to become a respected radio newsman, has been going out with both whites and blacks for ten years.

"A couple of years back, I don't know if it took courage to walk about Philadelphia with a white girl, but you could sense the uneasiness. I don't feel that nervousness any more...
Some time this week, the newest NASA satellite is scheduled to perform a complex series of operations in orbit. If all goes well, Radio Astronomy Explorer-A will unreel a collection of booms and antenna until it turns into a veritable space spider, with two pairs of appendages reaching 1,500 ft. from tip to tip-a distance greater than the height of the Empire State Building (which is 1,472 ft.). With those great legs foraging for information, RAE-A will act as a flying radio telescope capable of monitoring signals that even the largest earth-bound installations cannot...
Mapping the Milky Way. This week the satellite will receive a radio command from earth and begin to unfurl its giant antenna system. Carried as flat ribbons of silver-plated copper alloy coiled on spools within the satellite, the tubular legs will be formed as the outer edges of the unwinding ribbons curl towards each other and meet. Tiny tabs along the edges of the ribbon will hook together as the tubeb forms, adding rigidity. At first, the antenna legs will be extended only 358 ft. from the craft, to test their stability. Then they will grow to their full...
