...Russians this week took a giant new stride in the race toward the moon. From the Soviet rocketdrome in Central Asia, two manned space capsules rose into orbit around the earth and established visual and radio contact with each other. It was the first test of teamwork in space. Russian scientists said that the purpose of the mission was to check the physical effects of weightless flight on two cosmonauts orbiting under identical conditions and-more importantly-to gain experience in contact between vehicles in space...

It is now concerned about criticism from Congress, the source from which all that hardware flows. Word went out: billions for defense, not one extra cent for Hollywood...
...Museum and the Faculty Club. In addition, Cronin's was found on Dunster St. Before they left, members of the Class would be the first to enter Quincy House; would use the 11-story Leverett Towers and plush Loeb Drama Center; and would see the beginnings of LeCorbusier's Visual Arts Center. And, although many would have to walk further to Cronin's many more could walk a shorter distance to the infirmary, with the opening in 1961 of the 10-story Holyoke Center...
