NEARLY a decade ago, a slim, crew-cut Navy test pilot clambered into a tiny space capsule named Freedom 7 and was hurled by a Redstone rocket into a high, arcing 302-mile flight over the Atlantic. For the U.S., that brief, 15-min-ute suborbital ride began the era of manned space flight. Next week, his lean body practically unchanged by the passage of years, the same pioneering astronaut will command NASA's fourth manned assault on the moon. At the age of 47, Captain Alan B. Shepard Jr. is the oldest American* ever to soar into space...

Said Fisherman Bob Hurtel: "If there was one boat out there, there were 5,000. You could almost walk across the water on them...
Only ABC's Dark Shadows tapes as if every day were Friday. The 30-min ute show is TV's first gothic soaper (Monday through Friday, 4 p.m. E.D.T.) and the first to star a vampire. Ex plains one of the directors: "If the char acters sat around and talked to each other about vampires, you would turn people off. It's the actual vampirizing that makes the show." No doubt about it. Dark Shadows has put the bite on a rapidly-rising audience that now aver ages 15 million viewers a week. When Barnabas the Vampire...
