After lonely, four-month journeys through the void, two ingeniously contrived spacecraft-one Russian, the other American-reached Venus last week. Methodically investigating the cloud-shrouded planet, they successfully radioed their findings back across 50 million miles of space to scientists on earth. The dual performance was perhaps the most impressive demonstration yet of the technical progress made by man during his first decade of space flight...
...greatest scientific achievements of the civilization of man," exulted NASA Planetologist Donald Gault last week. By means of the Surveyor 5 spacecraft, man had reached across a void of some 240,000 miles, studied the surface of the moon, and analyzed its chemical composition. That analysis, scientists reported last week, indicated that part of the lunar surface is strikingly similar to the earth...
...really cares, who is really concerned about him. This kind of realization, I have found, is almost unendurable for some, very depressing for others. I used to think that the family system was passe, but the singles in my club who seem to survive well the emptiness and void are the ones who have strong, close family ties...
...Into the Void. Off they went in the B-25 climbing through the clouds and circling north over the lake before heading back toward the field. When Pilot Karns thought he was in approximate position, he radioed the Federal Aviation Administration radar station at Oberlin, Ohio, for a radar vector. The Oberlin operator announced: "You are three miles west of Ortner." "Fine," radioed Karns. "I'm releasing my jumpers." Looking down, all anyone on the plane could see was clouds, broken here and there by patches of brownish green. Both the U.S. Parachute Association and the FAA have regulations...
...cubist, Reinhardt gradually reduced color, texture and deign to almost jet-black canvas squares, with only the slightest shadings of muted colors and black-on-black stripes. "I'm just making the last paintings anyone can make," he said. Critics long tended to dismiss his grail as more void than essence, yet in recent years the art world rewarded his search with fame and up to $15,000 per canvas...
