They were right. Gravity and damping devices on the GGTS launched in June have already reduced the arc of its swing from a full 180° to about 30°. By mid-August, its builders hope, the oscillations will have died down to less than 8°, leaving the satellite with one face turned toward the earth...
...continues with beer drinking and frenzied frugging to ear-shattering rock bands in the local clubs: Cisco's at Manhattan Beach, Zack's in Falmouth, Mass., Big Al's Gas House in Santa Cruz, Calif. When the bars close, it's really time to swing, with all-night parties in motels and rooming houses or, in Saugatuck, Mich., on boats moored in the Kalamazoo River. One Pittsburgh coed, summer-schooling at U.C.L.A. and summering in and around the Oar House at Santa Monica, describes her routine as "swimming, horseback riding, necking-the usual things...

In Novosibirsk-"the Chicago of Siberia"-fully half of the city's 1,000,000 residents turned out to greet the French leader.

"How can one forget," he said, "that the great academy...
Bigger Competitor. Lockheed's rival in the competition is Boeing Co., which has not won a major military plane or missile award since 1958. Boeing is betting on a swing-wing model whose wings tuck back at high speed and open out for landings. Called the Boeing SST 733, it could achieve the same speed and stratospheric altitude as Lockheed's 2000. Boeing is building a mockup, plans to display it around September. The plane has just undergone major modifications, making it heavier (300 tons v. Lockheed's 250 tons), longer...
