Cedorchuk narrowed the gap to 6-4 with a rocket from the left at 19:16. The Eagles pulled their goalie and lit the light again 24 seconds later, but the puck had been deflected in by Cedorchuk's skate and the goal was disallowed...
Soviet Premier Aleksei Kosygin is a mild-appearing man who, along with present Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev, helped overthrow Khrushchev in 1964 because, among other reasons, he was acutely embarrassed by Nicky's high jinks and rocket rattling. An efficient bureaucrat, Kosygin not only involves himself deeply in the Soviet Union's domestic affairs but also directs his country's foreign policy. This week, in an interview in LIFE, he proved that he can be just as tough and unbending as any of his predecessors. Ranging over a wide variety of subjects in a more or less...
Launched by the same Saturn I rocket atop which the fatal Apollo fire occurred last year, the LM was protected on its flight through the atmosphere by a nose cone and a cone-shaped adapter. After the second stage had been inserted into orbit, the nose cone was jettisoned and the adapter's four panels slowly opened like the petals of a flower, exposing LM to its natural environment: the vacuum of space, in which it can fly as efficiently as a streamlined rocket. Then, on command from LM's on-board computer, the craft briefly fired...

In addition, he has asked for the revival of a relatively modest Voyager program that would place two sophisticated craft in orbit around Mars in 1973 and send two additional orbiters and two soft-landers to the same planet aboard a single Saturn 5 rocket in 1975. Time is already beginning to run out for some of the scientific teams so painstakingly assembled for the U.S. space program. On the day that Saturn 5 made its successful flight (TIME, Nov. 17), 700 NASA employees who had helped build the giant rocket were laid...
