...scientists were questioned eagerly about what the pictures told about the moon, but they emphasized that they had not yet seen the first-grade pictures and had taken time for only casual study of the second-grade prints. Only a few things are obvious to the expert but hasty eye. The moon's "seas" do not seem to be covered with deep, fluffy dust, as many lunar experts have argued.

Thus was launched one of Madison Avenue's most successful ad campaigns, whose slogans-Avis...
From the first, Zwingli found celibacy difficult. In 1515, nine years after his ordination, he took a private vow of chastity-which he kept for only a year and a day. But in the casual atmosphere of the Swiss Church, Zwingli's sin was no bar to advancement, and in 1519 the canons of Zurich Minster appointed him preacher of the cathedral; his chief rival for the post was a German priest who admitted to fathering six children...
