Now Schramme has abandoned that ambitious task and an nounced his willingness to call off the two-month-old revolt in exchange for an amnesty and a safe conduct for his men, including an estimated 1,000 Katangese gendarmes...
This pushes Apollo to a critical launch-pad weight that is only 350 Ibs. under the Saturn 5's total lifting capacity for lunar missions. As a result, parts of Apollo's parachute system had to be enlarged or redesigned for safe landing at greater weight, and redundant systems on board have been eliminated for a weight reduction of 58 Ibs. Low hopes to peel 400 Ibs. more off Apollo by eliminating the spacecraft's lead ballast. So critical is the weight factor that even metal brackets inside Apollo are being examined for possible perforation to save...

Arnold Bennett's Great Adventure becomes Darling of the Day, with music by Jule Styne. Plays returning in musical incarnation: The Happy Time, with fail-safe Director Gower Champion and Robert Goulet as leading man; and The Madwoman of Chaillot, by the same team (Robert E. Lee and Jerome Lawrence, Composer Jerry Herman) that converted Maine. And now, reversing the old pattern, Broadway is borrowing from Hollywood: onstage, the movie The World of Henry Orient will...
