...Snoopy in the vicinity of the moon, the return flight of Apollo 10 last week could not have been smoother. On the day before splashdown, the astronauts chalked up a space first. Stafford explained to ground controllers that the crew was about to conduct "scientific experiment Sugar Hotel Alpha Victor Echo"-or SHAVE. NASA had spent $5,000 trying unsuccessfully to perfect a small electric razor with a vacuum attachment that would suck up bristles -which otherwise might float freely and clog up instruments in the weightless environment of the spacecraft. The Apollo 10 astronauts had a simpler solution. They...
...become the My Fair Lady of the Now Generation, and its success is even more striking on records. Hair is the first Broadway musical since Man of La Mancha to win a gold platter -the record industry's reward for selling $1,000,000 worth of disks. RCA Victor's original-cast recording has been the No. 1 album bestseller for seven weeks. Even Atlantic's recording of the London production has sold 60,000 copies...

"Let him in," barked an officer. "He is the President." Army Chief Alfredo Ovando, who with Barrientos had overthrown Victor Paz Estenssoro in 1964 (Barrientos won an election in 1966), was in Washington on a visit. The U.S. Air Force immediately offered him a C140 jet to fly home quickly. While Siles and Ovando and other dignitaries escorted Barrientos' body to La Paz Cathedral, Bolivians mourning the past also...
...Fern, the mother. Sandal LaPharque also does a creditable job with the single, central role of Randy. The men, however, are somewhat more questionable. David Baughan, a James Dean of the skateboard set, sits a little too heavily on his character's affectations. Both Ken Evans and Judson St. victor do their share of honest work in lesser roles; one suspects both would be happier elsewhere, but it is in the nature of house shows to conscript all manner of participants, and this particular Eliot House production, spread over Paul Fry's efficiently inspired scenery, speaks well for the institution...
