Summary:

THE GEMINI V SAGA The saga of Gemini Five proves to be a tale of suspense right from the first scheduled takeoff. Astronauts Gordon Cooper and Charles Conrad tried again after their first attempt was thwarted by technical difficulties and then a thunderstorm. Technicians hoped they had all of the difficulties under control from Pad Nineteen - for the 8-day rendezvous. It's a 3,500,000 mile voyage. The elevator ride to the Capsule was the smoothest part of the early flight. On the second orbit the fuel cells showed signs of failure. There was a decision to be made...whether to continue on or return to earth. They gambled....and the world thrilled to the epic flight as the Gemini Twins seem determined to set new records in space. SPORTS DOGS PUT BITE ON CRIMINALS: For decades the West Berlin police have used dogs as an auxiliary force in their war on crime. Here is this year's class of recruits as they make their nubile debut in a show demonstrating their cleverness. The dogs turn the tables. Look - The spectators sitting up . . . . begging for more! HORSES JUMP FOR GLORY: "The City of Aachen" trophy has the world's premier riders competing in the German riding classic. A field of 37 narrows down to a jump-off between Pierre d'Inzeo and Hugo Arrambide. They both jump superbly until the 2.10 meter obstacle course, where they both miss for a first-place tie.
