Different Episodes. One sample that especially attracted their attention was the 8-ft.-long core that the astronauts had struggled to extract from the moon. In the first three of five core sections, they found 24 distinct layers of material. Just as tree rings reveal clues to yearly climate changes, each layer in the core should provide evidence of different episodes in the moon's history...
Next day, the third foray from the lunar lander Falcon provided more scientific treasures. Returning to a core tube that they had driven deep into the lunar surface and had been unable to extract. Scott and Irwin tried again. "Ready," said Scott as they hauled at the tube, "one . . . two . . . three . . . uhhh." After six minutes of struggle, the tube came out. "Nothing like a little P.T.

She solved the problem of how to protect half a gram of hashish by depositing it in her left ear. How to extract the wad became another problem; amateur efforts pushed the dampened hash deeper into the external auditory canal. She had to go to the George Washington University Hospital emergency room, where the staff performed what Piemme terms a "hashishectomy." Though the girl claimed not to have smoked either hash or marijuana...
