CASTLE KEEP, by William Eastlake. A medieval castle deep in the Ardennes Forest is occupied by a decadent count, his child-wife, and a bumbling, boondoggling bunch of G.I.s who find themselves squarely in the path of the German thrust for Bastogne. Interweaving satire, tragedy and gothic mystery, Novelist Eastlake has created a surreal small masterpiece...
...other members of Harvard's our field trio are senior Mike Patrick and sophomore Dan Hootstein. Patrick had a willant sophomore season when he based .295, but tailed off last year to .368. One of the season's few disappointments Patrick would really boost the team's offensive thrust if he regains his sophomore form. Hootstein is the only sophomore in the starting lineup. A knee injury kept him out of freshman ball last year the keys to last year's fine performance out his progress this spring has been highly encouraging...

Its continued presence may not have resolved Arab-Israeli differences (what could?), but today, the Gaza Strip is quiet...
...computer is, in fact, the largely unsung hero of the thrust into space. Computers carefully checked out all Gemini's systems before the launch, kept precise track of the spacecraft's position in the heavens at every moment, plotted trajectories and issued precise commands to the astronauts. On their detailed instructions, the astronauts made the first change of orbit ever achieved in flight; computers not only designed the new orbit, but also told the command pilot at what time and for how long he should fire his thrusters to achieve...
...Varied Thrust. For later missions, the Air Force is rushing to completion its $127 million Titan III complex on a long, skinny sandbar dredged out of the blue-green Banana River. When it goes into production this spring, the first stop on the assembly line will be in what Air Force spacemen call the VIB (for Verdeal Integration Building). There, in four identical 180-ft. bays, technicians will be able to assemble a quartet of the Air Force's versatile new Titan IIIC rockets. When one is finished and checked, a pair of railroad locomotives will pick...
