CAPE KENNEDY (MP) - Apol-

to the moon for decades, is ready
to blast off tonight on Amer-.

space launching.
The smoothest countdown in
Apollo history ticked flawlessly
toward a 9:53 p.m. EST liftoff in
the first afterdark launching of
a U.S. manned flight, a fiery
event expected to draw half a
million visitors to the Cape Ken-
nedy area.
Astronauts Eugene Cernan,
geologist Harrison Schmitt and
Ronald Evans have completed 16
months of training for the final
and most ambitious of the Apol-
los.
For the last Apollo, NASA has

the landing site for Cernan and
Schmitt.
They are to guide the spindley
legged Challenger to a touch-
down in a three-mile long vol-
canic valley which Cernan terms
"box canyon" because it is ring-
ed by mountains rising up to
7,000 feet.
With zero hour approaching,
the pace quickened at the launch
pad as crews worked to prepare
'the Saturn S rocket, the com-
mand ship America a n d t h e

Flight batteries were activated,
fuel cells serviced, tanks pres-
surized, and food and equipment
stowed aboard the spaceships.
Five tiny mice, packed in a seal-
ed container, were put aboard in
an experiment to determine the
affects of cosmic rays on brain
tissue.
The rodents - five tiny mice

tubes inside a sealed alumnum
canister. They'll ride in the com-
mand ship America with Evans
around the moon.
Experimenters implanted waf-
er-like cosmic ray detectors tin-
der the skulls of the mice. Back
on earth, the tiny natives of the
California desert will be killed
and their pea-sized brains exam-
ined to determine how cosmic ra-
diation has affected brain tissue.

In July of 1969 John Sinclair was sentenced to 91/2-10
years in prison for possession of two joints of marijuana.
Two-and-a-half years later, on December 10, 1971, after
innumerable attempts to gain John's freedom through the
courts had met with failure, the Rainbow People's Party
organized a massive Freedom Rally for John Sinclair at
Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Fifteen thousand
people came to Crisler that night to join with a star-studded
cast of dozens of musicians and political organizers to
protest this enormous injustice. Three days later John Sin-
clair was released from prison. "TEN FOR TWO" is a record
of that historic event, featuring the performers who made
it all possible.

Glenda Jackson (Academy Award: Best Actress), Oliver Reed, & Alan Bates
in Ken Russell's
WOMEN In LOVE
THE MOVIE industry has a ten-
Tdency to take a beautiful piece
of literature and destroy its inti-
macy by splashing it across the
s c r e e n. Occasionally a miracle
occurs and a conscientious direc-
tor is able to admirably translate
an author's work. Such is the case
of Women in Love, the movie ver-
sion of D. H. Lawrence's sensual
novel directed by Ken Russell.
Lawrence is a most gifted writer
with a style that typifies great
literature . . .
It is a frightful task for a di-
rector to even attempt to present
some semblance of such a com-
plex writer, but Russell has an-
swered the call and performed
magnificently. He displays a sen-
sitive understanding of the strong
personal relationships which are
at the center of Lawrence's writ-
ing and unveils the elegance of
his colorful prose. with the aid
of script writer Larry Kramer,
Russell exposes the intensity and
passion of Lawrence's novel . . .
The casting is excellent. Oliver
Reed (Gerald) and Jenny Linden
(Ursula), even though she re-
sembles Debbie Reynolds, are good.
Alan Bates, as Birkin, Lawrence's
alter-ego in the book, looks like
a well-fed Lawrence. But, the best
performance is by Glenda Jackson
(Gudrun) who is superb as the
character who represents Law-
rence's anti-feminist view . . .
If you can accept this film for
how well it handles what it does
in the allotted time, and not con-
demn it for what it misses it is a
truly great film; and as good a
rendition of a novel as can be ex-
pected. Granted it could never be
as good as the original work, but
it is a marvelous film, well worth
seeing, and hopefully it will in-
spire you to read the book, if you
already haven't.
