...Provocation. So far, there is no sign that the recent shooting will be used for similar purposes. But Russians are alarmed by the Tass description of the event as "a provocation." In Communist jargon, that is the term for an anti-Soviet political act that is usually the result of a conspiracy and consequently calls for severe countermeasures...
...world's first crew exchange in orbit, serving notice to Americans that Russia has not given up in the space race. Jubilant Russians could point to their first manned-flight breakthrough in a long while. By the time the two vehicles separated 4 hrs., 35 min. later, Tass was hailing "the world's first experimental space station." Then Shatalov, Khrunov and Eliseev landed Soyuz 4 safely some 1,500 miles southeast of Moscow, within sight of recovery helicopters. This display of reentry accuracy overcame the perils of the snowy landing site's 31-below-zero cold, making...
Though the Soviets sent 200,000 soldiers into Czechoslovakia only five months ago, they professed outrage at the comparatively modest influx of 12,000 U.S. troopers.

Soviet President Nikolai Podgorny sent a cable to President Johnson calling the flight "a new accomplishment in conquering the outer space...
...Tass, the Russian news agency, has confirmed that both Zonds were preparatory shots for a manned flight and carried living creatures to test radiation effects near the moon. U.S. scientists suspect that Cosmonaut Georgy Beregovoy successfully tested life-support systems for a manned lunar mission during the earth-orbit flight of Soyuz-3. If so, a Soviet lunar spacecraft may finally be man-rated-ready to carry passengers to the moon in December...
