Whiplash. Both President Nixon and members of Congress have made proposals that would accomplish the latter, but none has worked hard for actual passage. The Administration plan, which is acceptable to railroad management and violently opposed by the unions, would provide for a three-man board to choose between the final offers made by both sides. The Democrats' Williams-Staggers bill would allow unions to strike individual railroads. But rail executives fear that under the plan unions would hit wealthy lines for high settlements that hard-up lines then would be whiplashed into meeting. A.F.L.-C.I.O. President George Meany...
Cornell is a solid hitting team with a strong three-man pitching rotation. The Big Red's only weakness is its bullpen, but coach Ted Thorley won't hesitate to use all three starters today because of the importance of the game...
Delay in the launch of Soyuz 10 and its three-man crew stirred more suspicions. Russian officials were apparently deciding if it was worthwhile trying to rendezvous and dock with a craft that would not long remain in orbit. When Soyuz was finally launched, it was unintentionally shot into an orbit higher than Salyut's. It took nearly two days for the manned craft to reach and dock with its target-an operation that the cosmonauts later compared to bringing a train into a large railroad station. Then, only 5½ hours later, having made no attempt to board...
Cosmodromes on the barren steppes of Kazakhstan trembled with the thunder of departing rockets last week. An unmanned space vehicle named Salyut (Salute) roared off its launch pad and was sent into a near-earth orbit. It was followed four days later by a three-man crew in Soyuz (Union) 10. As many as three additional Soyuz ships were reported poised to join the others in orbit. Ten years after Yuri Gagarin's pioneering flight, the Soviet Union had seemingly begun its most ambitious venture into space: a long-expected attempt to assemble a manned station hi earth orbit...
...doesn't matter, we'll fix it." By briefly firing Soyuz's engine, the crew lowered the spacecraft's orbit. At week's end they had rendezvoused and docked successfully with Salyut for 5½ hours. But then Soyuz undocked and returned its three-man crew safely to earth, inexplicably leaving the space station's central unit, Salyut, alone hi orbit...
