...Russians were far ahead in the ability to send up payload weights. The Russian "space menagerie" weighed 10,143 lbs., twice as much as the heaviest U.S. load put into space. The menagerie's capsule was big enough for two or three men. The U.S. appears ahead in refinement of miniature instruments, but Russia achieves plenty of sophistication with its bigger devices. And by their own claims, the Russians are ahead in accuracy: their space menagerie, they said, landed only six miles from the target point (undisclosed...
...where the Latin American edition is printed issued a public statement complaining that TIME'S ideas do not conform to Castro "revolutionary sentiments" and charging that the story contained "false and tendentious pronouncements.'' Within 24 hours after the issue hit the stands, Cubans bought more than twice the normal number of copies. A political columnist for Castro's mouthpiece newspaper Revolución (who had obviously read the Che story down to the last word) sniffed that he had "little time for TIME."

...evening was still young when Connolly himself let loose a heave that sent the hammer thudding to earth 230 ft. 9 in. away-thereby breaking his own world record by 5 ft. 5 in.

Bankers hope that the 5% prime rate of U.S. banks-the interest charged the biggest borrowers with the best credit-will not drop too soon. "Any bank in Dallas probably could lend twice as much money as it has available to lend," said a Dallas bank officer, "and the Fed's action won't change this situation." Most big-city banks have some 60% or more of their deposits out in loans, close to the highest deposit-loan ratio in history...
Such perfectionism comes high: $700 a suit to a private buyer, almost twice that much to a buyer who wants to copy the model for mass distribution. Even so, the House of Chanel loses money every year on its fashion division, which is carried by the perfume profits. Some 80% of Chanel sales are made abroad, and her clothes have been copied all over the world, right down to a U.S. cotton model retailing for $10. The secret of fashion is simple, says Coco: "One always begins by making dream dresses. Then one has to take away something. Always...
