Goldie, the London Zoo golden eagle, was recaptured after thirteen days of freedom. Goldie spent most of the time in Regent's Park, which surrounded the zoo, though he also made occasional excursions into the nearby neighbourhoods of Camden Town, Tottenham Court Road and Euston.

He also attacked two terriers in the park, but was driven off by their owner, a little old lady armed with a really vicious umbrella.

Gary Flandro's Utilisation Of Energy Derived From The Gravitational Field Of Jupiter For Reducing Flight Time To The Outer Solar System, published in NASA JPL'S Space Programs Summery. The previous year Flandro, a student working at NASA on his Master's in Aeronautics, was assigned the task of studying techniques for exploring the outer planets. In his study Flandro discovered a rare alignment of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune in the 1975-76 period and conceived The Planetary Grand Tour mission utilising the gravity-assist technique to reduce the mission duration from over forty years to less than a decade. By 1966, JPL was promoting the project, noting it would allow a complete survey of the outer planets in less time and for less money than sending individual probes to each planet. This was achieved by NASA with the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 missions, launched in 1977. The ideas from Flandro's research had major impact on subsequent solar system exploration; the Galileo and Cassini missions (to Jupiter and Saturn respectively) were made possible by the gravity assist method whilst Flandro also studied gravity assist trajectories to Pluto - the basis for the New Horizons mission launched in January 2006.

Kenneth Tynan became the first person to use the word 'fuck' on British TV during an episode of BBC3. Probably when he saw Bill Oddie was also on the programme. (At least three prior claims have been asserted to this 'first': a 'tired and emotional' Brendan Behan on Panorama in 1956; an anonymous man who painted the railings on Stranmillis Embankment in Belfast, who in 1959 allegedly told Ulster TV's magazine show, Roundabout, that his job was 'fucking boring' and the actress Miriam Margolyes, who claimed to have used the word in frustration when appearing on University Challenge in 1963.) In response to public outcry, the BBC was forced to issue a formal apology. Odious busybody Mary Whitehouse claimed to have written to the Queen, suggesting that Tynan should be reprimanded by having 'his bottom spanked.' The irony of Whitehouse's comment has been noted, given later revelations of Tynan's fetish for flagellation.
