...more the rule than the exception in my home port of York Harbor, Me., for the sailboats moored in the tide to lie head to tide and those in the eddy to lie head to eddy regardless of wind direction. And all boats reverse with the ebb and flow of the tides, appearing to play ring-around-a-rosy. This is especially noticeable in a small harbor where the tide tends to hug one shore and then eddies back along the opposite shore...
...precedence over what was, after all, a "fishing expedition" by the defense. They also insisted that Sirica's order could set a dangerous precedent. Allowing lawyers to demand information that reporters had been given in confidence, they warned, would cause news sources to dry up and cut the flow of information to the public. "I think you're getting alarmed about something that probably won't happen," Sirica told the Times. "Every judge doesn't have to agree with my opinion...
Truce. Does it matter if, in Eastern Europe, detente stops at home? East-West relations could continue to expand on a government-to-government level, whatever the internal conditions in the East bloc.

...experiments also posed problems. Cernan worked so hard trying to drill holes for the important heat-flow experiment-which had been inadvertently disconnected on the Apollo 16 mission-that his pulse climbed to 150 beats per minute. 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...
