...thus, in the gospel according to Gay Talese, did the New York Times's celebrated "Greenfield Affair" come to an end on Feb. 9, 1968. The Washington bureau had resisted the appointment of Greenfield, an outsider,* as bureau chief. It had won, and its autonomy remained intact...
...deeply I am grieved at the dissensions that are dividing the fraternal parties." Few parties have been less fraternal lately than the Chinese and the Russian, yet both, for their own reasons, responded to Ho's plea for unity.

They constitute the basic raw material and the evidence that must be handed on, intact if possible, from one generation of scholars to all those who follow...
Those added years had startling geological implications. They meant that the moon's maria, or seas, were not created by relatively recent-and possibly continuing-volcanic activity. Instead, the maria had probably survived largely intact since early in the moon's life. Because the relatively uncratered maria are probably the last major features to have been formed on the lunar surface, the moon's appearance has remained essentially unchanged for billions of years. "It's something, isn't it?" Urey reflected last week. "Rocks sticking up above the surface . . . perhaps they haven't changed...

Nonetheless, Urey and other cold-moon proponents think that when men reach the lunar highlands, which are generally considered to be older than...
