...smirks sideward...
...single step, simply does not exist here. The cumbia, the parrandera, the marinera all fit the bill and all are actively danced; even, on occasion, the tango. As the party progresses, however, dancers settle into what is most familiar--the wiggling shoulders, swinging arms, smooth steps, and sideward swaying of the hips that characterize the cumbia...
...helped the change from ellipse to circle by increasing the perigee from 100 to 140 miles above the earth; following the laws of orbital mechanics, though, it also reduced Gemini 6's closing speed on Gemini 7, now only 500 miles ahead. Later, he moved his flight path sideward and edged into the same orbital plane as Gemini 7 by yawing his spacecraft 90°, then firing a brief but finely timed thrust toward the south at right angles to his direction of motion...
...which controls Gemini's 85-Ib. and 100-lb. thrusters, and is-in NASA parlance-"direction oriented." When he wanted to move forward, he merely moved the stick forward; when he wanted to go into reverse, he pulled the stick back; he moved it right or left for sideward motion. In his right hand, he clasped a notched pistol grip that controlled smaller thrusters used to pitch, yaw or roll the Gemini around one of its own axes-maneuvers that could fix its attitude in space. By working both controls simultaneously, Schirra was able to make his spacecraft respond...
High School, where students say there were three pregnancies last year, embarrasses a couple leaving a party to be alone by crying "Baaa" and jerking their elbows in a sideward motion, indicating that the couple intends to do more than make sheep's eyes. Interracial necking is acceptable, reports Junior Clyde Leland, 15, "but usually they're the phonies trying so hard to be liberal." Denver's suburban Cherry Creek High is known for academic excellence and high-strung students, but it also has "woodsies"-dancing on the sand of a dry creek bed while beer cans...
