...Thousands of engineers and technicians are out of work in Southern California and other aerospace centers. Last week, even as Apollo 15 streaked to the moon, Congress sent the White House a compromise $3.27 billion NASA appropriations bill-$1.9 billion below the allocations of the space agency's heyday...

Oh's occidental counterpart, mountainous Boog Powell (35 home runs and a $90,000 salary), went hitless. Although the Giants moved into an early lead, the Orioles pulled out a 6-4 victory with two runs in the eighth inning. The visiting Giants then went...
