...with Houston's voluminous files, Golden wrote and Sydnor Vanderschmidt researched the main narrative story, "Four Days of Peril Between Earth and Moon," while Peter Stoler and Mary Kelley were responsible for the box on "The Brave Men of Apollo." Those stories were edited by Senior Editor Leon Jaroff. Laurence Barrett, with Ann Constable as researcher, wrote the introduction, "Apollo's Return: Triumph Over Failure." Says Golden: "People forget that earlier shots had their problems too. But they were short-lived, and the happy ending quickly obscured the drama." No one is likely to forget Apollo...

It shows that man's spirit is just as daring and questing as in the time of Homer...
...questing spirit is no less important to journalists. In May, Editor Jaroff heard rumors that NASA had quietly changed its quarantine plans for the Apollo 11 astronauts. The May 16 issue of TIME brought out into the open a behind-the-scenes debate on the possible dangers of lunar organisms and helped influence NASA to tighten its quarantine procedures. During Apollo 10, Correspondents Lee and Neff questioned NASA's announcement that ground controllers had tracked the lunar module to a point 9.4 miles above the moon's surface in its lowest pass. The definitive figure should have come...
