...growing U.S. losses over the North -eight planes and 13 flyers in a single day early this month -the Administration last week made a riposte. The U.S., said Air Force Secretary Harold Brown, is neither "undercommitted" nor "overcommitted" in the air war against the North, but precisely on target. As for any prolonged bombing pause to alter that balance, Secretary of State Rusk firmly ruled it out without some sort of reciprocal gesture on Hanoi's part.

The splashdown marked the triumphant end of NASA's remarkably fruitful Gemini program. Since March 1965, the Gemini astronauts have made ten manned flights, rendezvoused ten times with target vehicles, docked nine times, and set a host of other space records.
