...expected, the lunar rock showed no indication of any life or concentrations of organic compounds. "This is the cleanest stuff you can find anywhere," commented the University of Bristol's Geoffrey Eglinton, one of 79 foreign participants at the conference. Nor did anyone find any trace of water-past or present; this prompted one scientist to comment that the moon was a million times as dry as the Gobi Desert...
...will they much like As You Like It, a little sprig of urban renewal that is filling the breech these days at the Old Bick headquarters.

Even domestic oil is getting more expensive, and there seems little chance of the Government...

Friends remember him as being active in the P.T.A. and the local symphony, especially in the family-concert programs. Says his longtime friend James Cowles: "He is one of the cleanest-cut men I've ever run across, serious-minded, a really bright guy. I trust him, and I trust his judgment...
