...orbit flights, which will lead up to an 18-orbital shot sometime late this year or early in 1963. With more powerful rockets under development, the U.S. hopes to launch two-man capsules by 1964, keep them in orbit for as long as two weeks (U.S. scientists estimate that the Soviet Union may try a two-man orbital flight most any day). Most ambitious of foreseeable U.S. space flights is Project Apollo, which aims at putting three men on the moon?and bringing them back?...
Dedicated last week was a new chapel that was designed by a professional forger, decorated by a two-man team composed of a thief and a murderer, and built by laborers on a wage scale that ranged from $1.20 to $7.70 a month. Its 1,000-odd congregation: inmates of the District of Columbia Reformatory (for men) at Lorton...
...power-laden New York Yankees from their sixth American League pennant in seven years. By last week the Yankees had it made. Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle were both close to breaking Babe Ruth's home-run record; by week's end their combined total broke the two-man record of 107 homers set by Ruth (60) and Gehrig (47) back in 1927.

...bluntly refused, and continued to administer Fort St. John as a full-fledged colony, defended by a pair of ancient brass cannon and garrisoned by a commandant and one assistant. The Dahomeyans finally told the Portuguese to get out by July 31. On the day of the deadline, the two-man garrison set fire to Fort St. John and the residency and departed, suitcases in hand, as Dahomeyan firemen raced to the scene. After the fire was put out, the Portuguese flag was ceremoniously lowered, and the green, yellow and red Dahomeyan emblem was raised over the charred walls...
Aboard each of the two-man, tvvin-engined jets was a Navy pilot and a radar-intercept officer, whose job was to navigate and handle communications. Each mile of the transcontinental trip was meticulously plotted, and electronic computers calculated the precise place and time at which mid-air refueling would be required (near Albuquerque, St. Louis and Pittsburgh). Using afterburners for maximum speed-more than 1,300 m.p.h.-the jets kept to an altitude of 50,000 ft. except for refueling, when they throttled back to less than 600 m.p.h. and dropped to 30,000 ft. to rendezvous with waiting...
