Missed Rendezvous. Over their radios, Valya and Valery sang songs of friendship to each other, flashed "best wishes to the industrious American people" and "warm greetings to the multimillioned Chinese." Loosening their harnesses, both cosmonauts performed calisthenics while floating weightlessly in their cabins. But though the two Vostoks passed within three miles of each other, their orbital paths were so divergent that they could not rendezvous. Since U.S. scientists had fully expected the two capsules to link up in space, they speculated that Soviet scientists had made a launching miscalculation...
...beastly work. Off Cape Cod, the Atlantic is a battleground for the warm Gulf Stream and the cold Labrador Current, and the weather veers from dim to foul. Strong subsurface currents swirl at unknown depths below. But the crew of Atlantis was both skilled and lucky; photos taken a half-mile north of Contact Delta showed a string of debris on the bottom. The pictures picked out hundreds of pieces of twisted metal, a shredded copper cable, a half-pint milk carton standing peacefully right side up, and a white Navy coffee mug lying on its side.

Subtle & Strong. From his words and acts, it was clear that the new Pope had aperturismo-the sense of openness to the world. But Paul's aperturismo would not be John's.

Augusta, revving the engine to warm up heavy racing oil. "May the best man win," boomed a loudspeaker, and the starting gun fired. Legs pumping furiously, Hailwood pushed the big 500-cc. bike across the starting line. The engine caught, and he hopped aboard side saddle, gunning his throttle in the same motion. By the time he heaved a leg over the saddle and slipped into position...
...Pope," and much of the world, Catholic and non-Catholic, seemed to agree. Protestant and Orthodox churches held memorial services in his honor; Jewish religious leaders mourned; Boston's Richard Cardinal Gushing announced that he would push for an immediate start on canonization proceedings. Nikita Khrushchev sent a warm message saying that John had "won the respect of peace-loving peoples"-the first time a Soviet leader has ever noticed the death of a Pope...
