...Underwear. Their backers, however, were fighting with a vengeance. Behind Lowell, the favorite at 6-4 and acknowledged the better poet of the two candidates, is Wadham College Warden Sir Maurice Bowra, who himself held the chair from 1946 to 1951. Bowra launched his campaign for Lowell last fall, after making, he claims, a gentleman's agreement with Blunden Backer Dr. Enid Starkie to limit the number of nominating signatures for each candidate.

Seventeen news photographers drown or die of concussions as Lynda Bird Johnson spends a holiday surfing in California. Spacecraft Gemini 8 and Gemini 9 establish an historic orbital link-up. Astronaut Roger Overendhout, clad in red, white, and blue underwear, is able to crawl from one capsule to another.

(Borman had two spots shaved on his head and depilatory rubbed in to accommodate electroencephalograph sensors with which his brain waves were to be monitored.) The Gemini 7 crew will be the first to fly in their long underwear without benefit of space suits. A successful rendezvous to within inches of another Gemini craft 185 mi. from earth, the most spectacular phase of the mission, would be the biggest first...
