Several groups of the eager investigators have been assigned the job of measuring the age of the lunar specimens by radioactive dating methods. By determining the ratio of radioactive elements (say, rubidium and uranium) in a moon sample to the amounts of their products of decay (strontium and lead, respectively), scientists can make a good approximation of its age. Thus, because the Apollo 11 samples will be taken from the surface of the Sea of Tranquillity, researchers may well be able to estimate the age of the moon's maria, or seas. This, in turn, might settle a longstanding controversy...
...attractive, but it may also be one ill-suited for America at the present time. In the 1968 Presidential elections, Richard M. Nixon won by putting together a coalition of his "forgotten Americans"--Southerners, Mid-Westerners, and middle-class people everywhere concerned about what they felt was a decay of American standards.
