...winter night, the neon signs of Crouch Temple glow with a lonely halo in the Los Angeles mist. Central Avenue, not far from the scene of the 1965 Watts riots, is quiet. But inside the temple, a converted theater, the night is alive. Some 2,000 people-black, white and brown-are turned toward the stage, crying "Hallelujah" and "God be praised!" For more than an hour the tension has been building up. Testimonies, gospel songs, pledges, blessings, and more songs-a writhing, Presleyan, shirt-open gospel rock driven home by an organ, drums and piano combo. Women are swaying...
...this Wednesday they were pushing aside cans full of garbage to make room for their eighteenth staff member. The cans of garbage are hidden away in the barest of the eleven makeshirt rooms--for BAD's office is colorful, alive; walls are covered with posters, clippings, day-glow pink and green buttons.

Stooped, toothless mouth indented, wearing glasses with handmade brass temples that could have been a hundred years old, he looked happy to have someone to talk to. We asked him about a place to stay. He looked surprised...
Lovell took the occasion to put an end to speculation that the lunar surface was colored, and that the "sunrise glow" he had reported from Apollo 8 indicated the moon may have a trace of atmosphere. "The only color that we could see in the universe from our vantage point was the earth," he said. The glow, Lovell now believes, was actually the corona of the sun, visible just before lunar sunrise. He also observed that "the stars don't even twinkle out near the moon," a strong indication that there is no lunar atmosphere...
