...relaxed manner and cheerfulness of the astronauts during lunar orbit was in stark contrast to their mood early Tuesday morning when Apollo was approaching the moon. As time neared for the mission's most important decision-whether to allow the spacecraft simply to whip around the moon and head back toward earth or to fire the Service Propulsion System (SPS) engine and place the craft in orbit-both the astronauts and their Houston controllers fell strangely silent. Only essential voice communications were exchanged, and these were monosyllabic and tension-filled...
...Dave Foley, Ohio State, 6 ft. 5 in., 250 Ibs. Whenever Notre Dame needed clutch yardage, a running back took off behind Kunz's blocking. A former tight end, he has the strength and agility to "pick up a big defensive end and whip him to the outside," says one scout's report. "He pass protects like a pro now." Foley is a "big, tough, mean lineman" from a school that specializes in turning out pro tackles. The scouts predict that he will win a starting assignment on any team that drafts...
Brand's protagonist is Dr. John Marks, a fortyish general practitioner from Brooklyn, who becomes fascinated by psychotherapy while undergoing analysis. (A grandmother with a whip nearly gave him a castration complex.) Working in a state mental hospital and, later, at a psychiatric research center, Marks is disturbed to find shock treatments being rather callously applied with almost no recognition of the psychotic as a sensitive human being.

Terrence McNally's "Noon" is a comedy about a fag, a nymphomaniac, a male heterosexual virgin, and a whip-toting sadist couple from Westchester who find themselves thrown together in a New York loft. Leonard Melfi's "Night" is a moving poem about death. Very vile and not a little perplexing, the plays are acted to the hilt by a cast including Charlotte Rae and Sorell Booke. Theodore Mann...
...defiant effort to exploit its instabilities to their own ends. The fedayeen, who owe no fealty to any government, are responsible only to themselves, and view any settlement as a betrayal and a disaster. They possess the power to sting Israel into repeated reprisals, and perhaps to whip Arab popular opinion to such a pitch that not even Nasser with all his prestige might dare a settlement with Israel. In Jordan, their primary staging area, they constitute virtually a state-within-a-state and could probably topple King Hussein and take over his splintered kingdom if they chose. And their...
