...joined the Air Force. Then an eardrum broken during a practice dive-bombing run made him doubt that he would ever fly again. He was delighted when recovery proved him wrong. Lovell, also 37, has been involved in launches since he was 16 and designed a rocket that rose 80 ft. In a term paper at Annapolis in 1952, he predicted that rockets would finally have their day when man penetrated space. He still builds model missiles for his son, bubbles over with so much nervous energy that fellow astronauts call him "Shaky...
...Ruby, Rose. "I was born black, almost strangled by the umbilical cord," she says. "Maybe that is why I have such good lung power." It is why she was christened Montserrat.

Morgens, 55: "We're not planning on any more acquisitions in the U.S. at the present time. Of course, the FTC plays a part in our thinking on this. It has made...
Meeter & Greater. Mikoyan's succes sor as Soviet chief of state is Nikolai Viktorovich Podgorny, 62, who rose to power as a protege of Nikita Khrushchev's. A hard-bitten Ukrainian with little experience in foreign affairs, Podgorny's main claim to power in the hierarchy was his control of party cadres-a job he may well lose as a result of his "elevation." The Soviet presidency is largely ceremonial, and without strong party posts its occupant is little more than a meeter and greeter. Podgorny, in short, seemed to have been kicked upstairs, with one nagging...
