Description

The original release sheet reads: RANGER REVEALS MOON'S SECRETS The Ranger Seven is launched from Cape Kennedy in on of the most successful shoots of the moon age. Equipped with cameras designed to send back more than 4,000 pictures, the Ranger made the three-day, 240,000-mile trip without a hitch and photographed the moon in detail such as man has never observed before. Thus, the United States was carried across new thresholds in space and brought close to a landing on the moon. GREEK GIRL REIGNS AS "MISS UNIVERSE" There's a feast for the eyes in Miami Beach as they choose the beauty who is to reign as "Miss Universe". There are beauties from the lands below the equator as well as the pick of the European crop. Winner is 20-year-old "Miss Greece"...who wants to travel to outer space with queens like this on earth????? SPORTS PICK THE KITE-SKI CHAMP As a curtain-raiser to Austin's Aqua Festival they hold the first water ski kite championships. This calls for a 16-foot kite, a towboat and a lots of nerve!
