Britain's radio telescope at Jodrell Bank followed Lunik III while it was flirting with the moon, but one of Lunik's tracking transmitters (39 mc) had apparently gone dead, and the other one (183 mc) was working erratically. The signal stopped entirely for about four minutes. This break might have indicated the moment when Lunik III briefly dipped behind the edge of the moon, but the Jodrell Bank scientists could not be sure whether it passed ahead, behind or under the moon. Since the far side of the moon was mostly in sunlight, Lunik may have photographed...
Just after the Crimson received the kickoff after Boston's third TD, quarterback Terry Bartolet--a talented signal caller, by the way--tossed a 38-yard floated to end Dave Marsh, who was immediately nailed at the B.C. 32. Two plays later Bartolet hit left end Ron Bonebrake, this time, at the five. Bonebrake, who has a name upon which sports publicity men will thrive, raced into the end zone for the touchdown, which amounted to only a consolation prize...
...Attention, attention, dear comrades," said the Moscow radio. "Listen now to the signals coming in from the cosmos, from the third cosmic rocket launched today." Then came the signals, sounding like hoarse violin notes at A above middle C. By that time, 1 p.m. Moscow time Oct. 4 (6 a.m. New York time), Lunik III was already 67,000 miles from the earth. Britain's big radio station at Jodrell Bank, instructed where to look by a telegram from Moscow, picked up the signal too and held it for 20 minutes. Then the violin notes stopped suddenly...
...customer will indeed get a long overdue break. The Corvair, the Falcon and Valiant are more than a shift to small cars; they also signal a shift in Detroit's auto-building philosophies, notably an end to years of emphasizing styling rather than mechanical changes. From now on, the big emphasis will be on mechanical improvements and innovations. The 80-h.p. Corvair has them aplenty. It gets 25 to 30 miles per gallon, can speed up to 88 m.p.h., and climb an ice-covered grade of 30° that would stop a standard car. Its flat "pancake" aluminum engine...
...seems a reasonable assumption that the appearance of the SPT factors in the background of children not yet delinquent is a danger signal of budding criminal careers. This is presently being rigorously tested...
