...stop soon after the sample is removed from the lunar surface. The samples will be sealed off from the rest of the world by a double biological barrier: 1) a vacuum system and a series of vacuum chambers in which the specimens remain while technicians handle them through insulated "glove ports" or by remote-controlled mechanical arms; and 2) an air-conditioning system that maintains lower air pressure within the LRL than outside so that, if there is a break in the system, air would flow in, keeping lunar matter from leaking...
Died. Robert ("Red") Rolfe, 60, baseball great, from 1934 to 1942 third baseman for the then peerless New York Yankees; of cancer; in Laconia, N.H.

Their white coats have long been prized for boot and glove trimmings and for fur jackets. In the gulf, a horde of hunters invade the floes on foot, by boat, on ski-equipped planes and in recent years by helicopter. Hundreds of sealers-"swilers" in the Newfoundland dialect-conduct a brief but grimly efficient slaughter. With stout oak clubs they move systematically through the herd...
