Summary:

ABNORMAL STORM HITS FLORIDA: In the earliest appearance of a hurricane in history, "ALMA" spreads death and destruction throughout the Caribbean....from Honduras, through Cuba, winding up by pounding both sides of the Florida peninsula. Winds are clocked at 110 m.p.h. AIRCRAFT DISASTER: The giant supersonic experimental bomber, the Air Force XB-70, and an F-104 Chase plane, collide over California. Two men are killed. One of them is Joe Walker, holder of the world's altitude and speed records. The XB-70 cost a half billion dollars to build. CALIFORNIA PRIMARY: 55 year-old actor Ronald Reagan defeats his Republican opponent and Governor Edmund Brown wins over his, as they both poll landslide votes in California's primary. The showdown election in November finds Brown an underdog and Reagan a possible '68 Republican Presidential candidate. GEMINI NINE TRIUMPH: Astronauts Stafford and Cernan return, by plane, to Cape Kennedy just as films they took alift, are released. The pictures show the "Angry Alligator" target docking vehicle whose plastic nose cover failed to jettison, preventing the docking maneuver. Cernan's Space Walk...and for the first time...films of the craft's re-entry phase, are other highlights of this story.
