Camera Records Missile in Flight (Universal Newsreel, Nov 1963)

Description

The original release sheet reads: CAMERA RECORDS MISSILE IN FLIGHT A Titan II ICBM takes off on a flight down the south Atlantic missile range and makes history. A motion picture camera is mounted on a second stage and on the fringes of space it records the separation of the first stage as the Titan speeds at 17,000 miles an hour. Through this magic, earthlings get a view of what astronauts will be seeing when the Gemini Space vehicle is launch. POPE INSTALLED AS BISHOP OF ROME Pope Paul VI is carried into the Basilica of St. John Lateran, seat of the Bishop of Rome, to formally take possession of the church. As Pontiff, Pope Paul is also Bishop of Rome and he intends to make periodic visits to his flock. MOVIE-WRITERS DINED AT UNIVERSAL CITY More than 200 motion picture writers and critics, including 80 from Europe, Asia and South America attend a luncheon at Universal City, a hub of the entertainment world. There are so many celebrities on hand that Mo Edward Muhl has a hard time keeping track of them. AH! CAN YOU HEAR THE PIPES????? The White House is taken over by foreign troops but everybody loves it, including the President and Mrs. Kennedy. She has 1,700 under-priviledged children as her guests on the White House lawn as the Black Watch pipers and band give a march-by. John, Jr., and Caroline are a hit of the show as they show off their good manners. SPORTS FOOTBALL GEORGIA TECH TOPS FLORIDA STATE On their homegrounds at Atlanta, Georgia Tech falls behind the team that tied them in a surprise last year as Florida State holds the lead in the first quarter. Tech really doesn't get started until the third session when Bill Lothridge takes to the air to complete 12 of 14 passes and Georgia Tech winds up on top. 15 to 7.
