Outside the giant fieldhouse, the grayness of the military academy was even grayer than usual in a shroud of fog. But inside, Cadet fans cheered ecstatically as Army's squad, led by a tiny sophomore named Van Evans, turned in an incredible all-around performance to clinch the meet before the last three events were...
...Kind oi Shroud. In his final plea, Sinyavsky said: "It is always the same hair-raising quotations from the indictment, repeated dozens of times and mounting up to create a monstrous atmosphere that no longer bears any relation to reality. It creates a kind of shroud, a peculiar kind of electrified atmosphere in which the boundary between the real and the grotesque becomes blurred, rather as in the works of Arzhak and Tertz. In general, a real 'Public Murder Day'-but only with two actors: Daniel and myself...
These older, reckles lyrics excited me because their contagion was evident; ears attuned to them gained appetites for "poeticism" and a lot of earnest, though not always men leapt up to supply them.

Umbilical Dynamics. Plagued by abortive launchings, prevented from docking with the Augmented Target Docking Adapter (ATDA) because its protective shroud had not shaken loose, the two astronauts were exhausted by three difficult but largely successful rendezvous attempts (TIME, June 10).

"Hallelujah!" shouted Cernan as he opened his hatch and emerged into space on schedule...
...Gemini window with a hand-held Hasselblad 70-mm. camera showed the rendezvous with the target satellite that Stafford had dubbed the "angry alligator." There was such clarity of detail that NASA experts used the pictures to confirm the reason why the ATDA had failed to shed its heat shroud. The ATDA ground crew had not connected four lanyards that would have assured proper jettisoning. Certain that the lanyards were merely leads for ground-test instruments, the crew had taped them uselessly to the side of the shroud...
