Summary:

GEMINI NINE'S TRIUMPH! Astronauts Tom Stafford and Gene Cernan complete their successful three-day GEMINI 9 mission with a perfect splashdown. The twice-postponed Space flight included Cernan's record Space walk for over two hours. Their re-entry and landing is the most perfect of any Space flight, to date. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC ELECTIONS: In a surprise victory, Joaquin Balaguer defeats Juan Bosch in the Dominican Republic presidential elections. Balaguer polls over fifty-eight percent of the vote. He was the Reformist Party candidate while Bosch was the leader of the Revolutionary Party. WORLD PREMIERE IN NEW MEXICO: The City of Albuquerque, New Mexico, goes all out for the world premiere of UNIVERSAL'S "AND NOW MIGUEL", the story of a boy's struggle to prove himself a man. 13-year-old Pat Cardi, stars in the film, produced by Robert Radnitz. Even Albuquerque's school kids get the day off to attend the premiere! SPORTS RECORD MILE RUN: At the Los Angeles Coliseum, 19-year-old Jim Ryun of Kansas, sets a new American mile record of three minutes, fifty-three and seven-tenths seconds; just one-tenth of a second off the world record. Many believe he'll be our first 3:50 miler. THE BELMONT STAKES: "Amberoid" comes from behind to pass a tiring "Mai King" and wins the Belmont Stakes, last step in racing's Triple Crown. "Kauai King" had already won the first two legs, The Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, and would have been the first horse in 18 years to take all three and the Crown. The finish: "Amberoid", "Buffle", and even "Advocator" nipped "Kauai King" by a neck for third place.
