Died. Dr. William Randolph Lovelace II, 57, pioneering space doctor and NASA's director of medicine; of exposure after the crash of his twin-engine Beechcraft in sub-zero weather near Aspen in the Colorado Rockies which also cost the lives of his wife and the pilot. A onetime Mayo Clinic surgeon, Lovelace turned to aerospace as wartime head of Army Air Forces medical research at Wright Field; he developed the first satisfactory oxygen mask for high-altitude flight, and played a role in virtually every major high-altitude development since, thus becoming NASA's inevitable choice...
Food & Golf. At Dallas' Addison Airpark, six plants are operating, and lots for 45 others have been sold in the park's 75 acres. The park has a mile-long runway that can handle twin-engine jets, is home base for 309 planes. The 703-acre Skywest Park being developed at Hayward, Calif., includes an adjacent 18-hole golf course. Executives of the first company there, Mack Trucks, Inc., soon will be able to fly a visitor to their plant door, feed him in the planned 90-room hotel and restaurant, play a round of golf with...
Lisa Kelley, who played Miranda, appears to be the twin of Lynn Milgrim, only a little less petulant. She was perfect. John Ross played Ferdinand with almost equal grace, mixing it, correctly I think, with the unsteadiness of a very young man who thinks he has just become king...
Ameriachi was born not in Old Mexico but in the recording studios of Hollywood. Alpert is of Jewish descent, his sidemen of Italian and Russian. Their Ameriachi is one part cool jazz, one part hot mariachi, with a dash of rock 'n' roll. Twin trumpets carry the melody, and trombone, drums, piano and two electric guitars add a heavy bass line and a chugging beat...
...many of its components had never been tested in space flight. NASA's calculated risk, it was suggested, had resulted in catastrophe. Test flights, however, would have been both costly and timeconsuming, and the Agena's previous record of reliability made them seem unduly wasteful. An identical twin of the lost rocket had been extensively checked on the ground, fired in a test stand, put in a vacuum chamber to simulate operating altitudes, started and restarted until all the glitches seemed gone. The fact is, says one of the country's top rocket-motor experts, that "sometimes...
