The Gemini 10 mission with John Young and Michael Collins demonstrates that an orbiting dead vehicle can serve as a safe launching pad to the moon. This achievement marks a turning point, making space exploration seem within reach and fueling American pride and scientific optimism.
As the space program achieves a new triumph the United States ends a 14 year naval construction drive. The fleet includes 41 nuclear powered submarines each armed with 16 missiles. Mrs Hubert H Humphrey christened the latest submarine in Groton Conn. The fleet strengthens deterrence and signals global leadership in underwater and space domains.
The 4th Army no longer runs a stockade at Fort Sam Houston. Short-term prisoners are kept at Lackland AFB stockade, while longer sentences send GIs to Fort Hood. Lackland’s stockade sits beside a wired dog enclosure used for training. A camera crew filmed the sentry dogs for an NBC TV special. Fort Sam’s former stockade building is now used by the Surgeon General for experimental work.
Space litterbugs add to their feats as Maj. Collins leaves a Hasselblad camera in orbit and Gemini 10gh plans follow. Astronauts jettisoned spacewalking gear and other objects clutter space, raising collision risks. DoD tracks 1 124 objects, says collision odds are low at about one in a million. A Space Sanitation Department may be needed to clean the Void.
Buckley argues Humphrey misuses metaphor by claiming he would revolt in slums, noting rioting and poverty are distinct issues. He condemns class demagogy and urges restraint, warning that misstatements threaten social order while envisioning widespread pool access as a future goal.
Dr Lester Coleman explains artificial kidneys or dialysis at Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn where 17 patients are kept alive and active under Dr Eli Friedman and Dr Keith Waterhouse. The Q and A cover kidney function after one kidney removal and stone treatment limits.
The piece details CORE efforts to form independent Negro unions in Baltimore targeting nursing home workers and small stores like Tommy Tucker Inc. It notes plans to negotiate a contract Aug 1 and hints at broader aims in construction. Don Smith defends pace and predicts expansion despite EEOC delays.
The piece critiques Am. Gen. Waggoner Carr and compares southern campaign rhetoric to a Mississippi squirrel law stand off. It also analyzes G.P.N. S. F.'s anti union stance, arguing a shift toward statist control of unions conflicts with private initiative and individual rights.
Don Politico argues two points worthy of recall. First, independent oil firms retain Fred Semaan as special prosecutor on hijacking cases, prompting questions about the Bexar County District Attorney’s office and its political stance on prsecuting crimes. Second, he urges a city referendum on a proposed 17 percent water rate hike, noting taxpayers are effectively Water Board stockholders and deserve a vote on the policy change.
