...seldom did in the days before Britain entered the EEC. Ronald Davidson, owner of Osborne House, has pleaded that the pork pies fit into the allowed category of pate en croute, that his sausages are really boudin blanc, and that Rose's Lime Juice is a permissible fruit extract. But the continental customs men-to whom a British delicacy is a contradiction in terms, anyway-have turned a deaf...

No matter what honor the U.S. could still extract from that cruel battleground, honor must now be sought at home as much as abroad.

NASA doctors, monitoring his heartbeat, ordered him to rest. Coming to Cernan's aid, Schmitt took a dramatic spill as he tried to extract a balky core tube from the ground. All of the experiments were finally set up, but it was learned later that a key instrument-the surface gravimeter-had jammed. It was a bitter disappointment to scientists, who had hoped that the instrument would help determine if gravity waves, originally postulated by Albert...
