Rest day for `Mir' crew

Moscow - The Russian-US crew aboard the crippled Mir space station enjoyed a rest day yesterday and the four Russian cosmonauts spoke to their families in a 45-minute video link-up with Earth. A spokesman at Korolyov Mission Control outside Moscow said all five men in orbit were well as they continued the week-long handover which began with the arrival of a twoman Russian relief crew last Thursday. - (Reuter)
