...speech, which is mostly a catalogue of Administration sins, with some thoughtful papers that have provoked serious discussion. He gets along better with the press than ever before, al though he is still not exactly chummy with reporters. A "new" Nixon? The next few months will be a better test. Meanwhile, Julius Monk's mummers sing in This Year's Model...
There were rebuffs, notably from Richard Nixon and G.O.P. National Chairman Ray Bliss, on Rocky's suggestion that he and Nixon 1) meet in a debate, and 2) sponsor a state-by-state voter poll to test their Electoral College strength.

Such a figure...
Releasing the Yo-Yos. Lofted from the U.S.A.F.'s Western Test Range at Lampoc, Calif, on July 4, the daddy longlegs in the sky is a masterpiece of technological ingenuity. It is guided from the Goddard Space Flight Center at Greenbelt, Md. NASA scientists there had to perform a series of intricate maneuvers before they could call for the unreeling of the satellite's four main antennas. First they had to nudge the 417-Ib. satellite into a circular, near-polar orbit about 3,640 miles above the earth with precisely timed bursts of a small rocket called...
...will be formed as the outer edges of the unwinding ribbons curl towards each other and meet. Tiny tabs along the edges of the ribbon will hook together as the tubeb forms, adding rigidity. At first, the antenna legs will be extended only 358 ft. from the craft, to test their stability. Then they will grow to their full length-750 ft. apiece. Already oriented towards the earth by magnetism, RAE-A's lower V antenna will also be pulled earthward by gravity, which will further stabilize the spidery satellite...
