They were treated to selections from Herb Alpert and his Tijuana Brass, weekend football scores and lengthy newscasts. The diversion was especially welcome on the return trip, which turned out to be the least eventful part of the journey. Two more live telecasts were presented from the spacecraft, and more star navigation checks were made, but the last two mid-course corrections were canceled: Apollo 8 was dead on target...
Apollo 8's unblemished success and its safe return prompted Air Force Lieut. General Samuel Phillips, the Apollo program director, to announce that Apollo 9 had been scheduled for a Feb. 28 launch date. On that flight, a three-man team headed by Astronaut James Mc-Divitt will orbit the earth and practice rendezvous and docking with the problem-plagued Lunar Module (LM), which has not yet been tested in manned flight...
...chilly, hazy morning last week when the men walked one by one through light snow that dusted the 250-ft. Bridge of No Return from North to South Korea. In quilted blue coats, grey shirts, flannel trousers and white-soled black sneakers, the 82 surviving crew members filed over the bridge at ten-foot intervals.

Aided by his sister Electra, Agamemnon's son Orestes in turn murders both his mother and her lover Aegisthus. Pursued by the Furies, Orestes is tried before the goddess of Athens...
Long and High. For the airlines, the Pacific routes are economical and profitable because they are so long, with relatively few costly takeoffs and landings. Pan Am gets a return on investment of close to 13% in the Pacific compared with less than 5% on transatlantic flights. By CAB estimate, each of last week's five winners stands to add at least $10 million a year to its revenues. But passengers should not expect any rate reductions. Such fares are set by the International Air Transport Association, a 104-airline group that does not necessarily feel that higher profitability...
