...moon is essentially grey, no color," Astronaut Lovell reported. "Looks like plaster of paris, or sort of a greyish deep sand. We can see quite a bit of detail. The Sea of Fertility doesn't stand out as well here as it does on earth. There's not as much contrast between that and the surrounding craters. The craters are all rounded off. The round ones look like they've been hit by meteorites or projectiles of some sort. Langrenus is quite a huge crater. It's got a central cone to it. The walls...

Borman, 40, is a lay reader of the Episcopal Church, and during the Apollo 8 mission read a prayer addressed to "the people of St. Christopher's [his church], actually to people everywhere." He also inspired the Christmas Eve reading of Genesis from deep space. Lovell, also 40, whom Borman converted to the Episcopal faith, minds his civic responsibilities too.

If that is the case, says Charles Yost, who was named by Nixon two weeks ago to be his U.N. ambassador, "the necessary initiative can only come from outside"-preferably in agreement with Russia and negotiated through the U.N. That would represent a significant departure from U.S. policy, which up to now has been based on the premise that Arabs and Israelis should settle their own affairs. Writing...
