Everyone agreed that it was amazin'. It was even more than that, said the Mets' ancient and revered manager Casey Stengel, who offered the World Series' ultimate moral: "You can't be lucky every day. But you can if you get good pitchin...
...Even as the Soviet troika circled the earth, the U.S. was busily preparing a space spectacular of its own. On the morning of Nov. 14, only 117 days after man's conquest of the moon, the eyes of the world will again be focused on Cape Kennedy's pad 39A. Though the flight of Apollo 12 may seem like history relived, the second American effort to land men on the moon should be almost as dramatic as its predecessor.

Next, the astronauts will shoot a series of closeup photographs of the moon, using both ordinary and infra-red film to help NASA planners pick out landing sites for the remaining eight...

Beyond that, conservationists' suits tend to be underfinanced, a handicap in fighting both large industries and the many small ones that contribute to regional air and water pollution. In addition, a court injunction against potential as well as present polluters still requires proof that irreparable damage is likely, a difficult task when it comes to such highly technical puzzles...
