...Cambridge scientists have been selected to examine the lunar material collected by the astronauts of Apollo 11 and subsequent moon shots. The investigators, two of them Harvard professors, will test the samples lunar crust for such qualities as mineral content, age, and possible traces of life...
...Paris peace negotiators agree to hold talks around an octagonal strawberry pie, with the Viet Cong bursting through the crust every hour on the half. Richard M. Nixon, in his Inaugural Address, declares he will balance the White House budget by installing a taco stand in the Lincoln Bedroom...

Under this upper crust lies a vast semi-oppressed white lumpenproletariat and a clearly oppressed black proletariat...
Occasionally steam emerges through fissures in the ground called fumaroles (from the Latin word fumariolum; meaning smokehole), and the simplest way to prospect for this geothermal energy is to look for such vaporous leaks in the earth's crust. But in areas where the energy remains trapped underground, geologists must use more sophisticated techniques. One method employs infra-red aerial photography. Since the infra-red film is sensitive to heat, geothermal areas are likely to show up lighter in the picture. Another method measures the earth's electrical conductivity, which increases with the presence of subsurface hot water...
Under Campione's leadership, the hotel chain increased its revenues by one-third, to $17.3 million, between 1961 and 1967. While new plans call for catering to the drip-dry set, CIGA will continue to coddle the upper crust.

Faithful customers, who range from Europe's nobility to Actor Peter Sellers, will still receive the same tender care they have learned to expect from CIGA employees. At Rome...
