Four researchers here have started or will soon begin detailed analysis of the lunar soil collected on last July's Apollo 11 mission. Their research will provide a much clearer picture of lunar surface geology and a possible answer to the question of life on the moon...
...less well known for its sacrifice of fact to fancy when the crusading spirit is upon it. As recently as seven weeks ago, Pearson was caught with his facts in the wastebasket when he charged that President Nixon had tried to dictate a starring role for himself in the Apollo moon-flight ceremonies. Anderson's reconstruction of the tragedy at Chappaquiddick also struck many as more supposition than substance. The columnist wrote that Kennedy at first persuaded his cousin Joseph Gargan to take the blame for Mary Jo Kopechne's death, then changed his mind during the night...
...frenetically visible in Washington has all but disappeared among the squat oak trees in the empty vastness of Pedernales country. He is only a fleeting presence, a blurred picture, a voiceless phantom. He has granted only one interview, a session with CBS' Walter Cronkite before the Apollo II launch, reportedly for a five-figure fee. He is seen only in telephoto glimpses: walking practically unnoticed on the University of Texas campus, going into the Johnson City Bank for a chat with A. W. Moursund, his old friend and business partner. He turns up horseback riding on the ranch, inspecting...
...more disappointed than Nobel Laureate Harold Urey, 76, when the 55 Ibs. of lunar samples brought back by the Apollo 11 astronauts turned out to be igneous or heat-formed rock, possibly of volcanic origin. Long a champion of a "cold" moon-the theory that it has never had a molten core like the earth's-the University of California chemist sadly admitted that he could have been wrong. The moon, he conceded in the face of the rocks, might be hot, or geologically active, after all. "Poor old fellow," said one of NASA's younger geologists several...
...Mars discover spheres of blue fire that are intelligent beings-free spirits, as it turns out, long liberated from the pains, and the sins, of the body. And in a recent, surprisingly touching Star Trek TV script, the crew of the spaceship Enterprise stumble upon the Greek God Apollo on a distant planet, only to tell him that they can no longer worship him, as they did when he and his race of supermen lived on earth...
