Serious Question. Somewhat surprisingly, Mstislav V. Keldysh, president of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, had little to say about the Soviet space spectacular at a press conference that took place while the docking was achieved. Instead, he commented on suggestions by the U.S., which has already performed manned dockings and plans to trigger off the maiden launching of giant Saturn 5 this week, that the two countries cooperate. "This is a very serious question," Keldysh said. "We have received no invitation, but I think this could be discussed...
Mahendra has also worked hard to promote tourism. As the custodian of seven of the world's eight highest mountain peaks and, like his Sherpa tribesmen, a mountaineer himself, he recognizes the spectacular attraction of Nepalese real estate. The most exciting of several new tourist hotels is Tigertops, which is built on stilts (like Kenya's Tree Tops) overlooking Nepal's fabled tiger country.

(for James) Simpson, 20, whose rookie year on the Southern Cal varsity may turn out to be the most spectacular season any major-college running back ever had. In his first six games, Halfback Simpson has carried the ball 180 times for 987 yds., is well within reach of the alltime season records for most carries (296) and most yards gained (1,570). O.J. also catches passes-eight so far, for 114 yards-and even throws them occasionally: in five attempts he has three...
