The drifting fiber glass had clogged a ¼in. tunnel vent. If something was not done, ground controllers feared, the unvented pressure might impart too much velocity to Snoopy as it undocked...

Polished, arranged, color coordinated and lighted to studio perfection, these examples attain a beauty they never possessed when their original owners were in residence. In vivo, mollusks are apt to be encrusted with organisms and covered with silty residues.
