Much of the lunar material was gathered at the beginning of the week during the third and final EVA (extravehicular activity) by Young and Duke on the plains of Descartes. With helpful navigational guidance from Houston, 240,000 miles away, the astronauts drove their $12 million moon cart to the very rim of a large feature called North Ray Crater, some three miles away from the lunar lander, Orion. As the rover's television camera followed them, they threaded their way down North Ray's steep slopes, going deeper into a large crater than any of the eight...
Postal authorities were baffled; rarely had they encountered a logistics problem of this scope. Finally, with ten tons of matzoth spilling over five postal substations, officials called the Sanitary Engineering department and requested that it cart the matzoth off and burn them...
...Matthews' "Agee at Time" is the picture of a man seen only in peripheral vision, as though the prospect of Agee's life at the time was too much the front cart in the roller coaster ride for Matthews' queasy stomach.

The Irish public tacitly supported the cause with boycotts of British goods...
Motorized CheckOut. T he more spectacular new dolls, however, are those that perform grown-up tasks. Bizzie Lizzie pushes a carpet sweeper, dusts and irons. Busy Becky the Handi Helper, programmed in much the same way, comes with twelve housekeeping accessories. Shoppin' Sheryl pushes a shopping cart, reaches out with a magnetized "Magic Hand" to pluck items off shelves, then pays at what is labeled a Motorized CheckOut Counter after the sale is rung up on a Ringing Cash Register. Surely an Overdrawn Bank Account is in the works somewhere...
