Land himself remained elusive for weeks, finally giving Taubman less than a day's notice for an interview. The father of instant photography allowed 21 hrs. of conversation-brief by the standard of most interviews with TIME cover subjects, but longer than he had ever spent with a reporter before. Associate Editor William Doerner, who wrote the cover story, had seen Land in his role as business executive addressing stockholders. "Through this interview," says Doerner, "you see a different Land, a lover of photography as art rather than commerce. I take cameras pretty seriously as a hobby...
...counselor, Richard Hannah, arranged an extraordinary "press conference" in a Los Angeles hotel.

By 3:04 p.m., Scott and Irwin should dock with the command module Endeavour (named for the ship used by 18th century English Navigator and Explorer James Cook). That will also reunite them with Worden, who will have conducted more scientific experiments than any other command-module pilot during his three days alone...
