...that they identified only as Cosmos 557. Last week U.S. intelligence sources reported that the mysterious Cosmos was in fact an unmanned Soyuz spacecraft that appears to have been launched as the intended docking target for a second manned Soyuz. The two ships, in effect, would have formed a mini-space station in earth orbit. But a failure apparently occurred aboard Cosmos, and the scheduled manned launch had to be scrubbed. Thus the Russians appear to have suffered a second major setback in space only weeks after their Salyut space station was crippled in orbit...
...possible to have aristocratic savoir-faire without resorting to the autocratic methods of former Met Manager Rudolf Bing. As many a diva has learned, Chapin's tact and graciousness do not signal a relaxed will. He pushed hard and successfully for the company's new Mini-Met, devoted to intimate or experimental operas in small halls with mostly young casts.

Rowing continuously at a 32, the Crimson pulled out to a two-length lead at the 1000-meter mark, made it nearly four lengths by 1500 meters and, with a mini-sprint of 20 strokes at a 35, added another length at the finish...
...question remains whether Perón can rule effectively by remote control. Memories of his past giveaways have already spurred worker unrest. Two weeks ago, some 5,000 policemen in La Plata struck for higher wages, then occupied and barricaded the police headquarters. The mini-revolt was quickly crushed by government tanks, leaving little doubt that the real power lies with the military establishment, which is still extremely wary of Peronism. Indeed, if Perón pushes too hard too fast from his headquarters in Madrid, there might well be another coup like the one that knocked him from power...
