...which should be cooled to below - 400° F. to operate efficiently, refused to chill at all. Mariner 7 caused even greater concern at Mission Control when it went off the air entirely for seven hours. Apparently struck by a tiny meteoroid, the spacecraft lost its fix on the star Canopus and its directional antenna spun away from earth. A new roll-and-search command went up from Pasadena.

That, it turns out, may be grounds to break off relations permanently with Robbins - and just possibly is the worst decision of Lana's 45-movie, seven-husband career. The Survivors has so far proved...
