Snapped from 133 miles away, the orbiter's first pictures showed the crater-pocked flatlands and adjacent ridges of the Mare Smythii region on the right-hand rim near the lunar equator. Later, the spacecraft snapped a 930-mi.-high shot of the moon's mysterious back side. Even so, the strong picture signals from the high-resolution lens were extremely fuzzy, primarily because of difficulties in the spacecraft's camera system...

...horseback and climbing the Pecos," digging behind legends of Indian wars, gamblers and lawmen for the tales she wove into a score of chronicles (Old Jules, Slogum House) whose gritty realism never dulled her own feeling for the Plains, to which she returned every spring, "when I see a mare's-tail sky and I get so homesick for Nebraska it hurts...

Sired by Ribot and foaled by Galbreath's stakes-winning mare Flower Bowl, Graustark was a big (16 hands), rangy colt bred for endurance rather than speed.

Mary Lindsay, 37, has little else in common with Jackie Kennedy. Mother of four (Katherine, 14; Margaret, 11; Anne, 9; John Jr., 5), "Mare"-as John calls her-is more gregarious and much more at home in the jostle of politics than Jackie...

Seven for Two. All of which says something for the process of natural selection-unless the sire happens to be Nantallah and the mare is Rough Shod II. Neither ever amounted to much on the track, but they are all business in the barn. The first product of their union was Ridan, a huge colt who won $635,074 before he was retired to stud in 1963. Next came Lt. Stevens, who is still racing as a four-year-old and has won $240,949. Then there is Moccasin. A strapping chestnut filly, Moccasin is two years...
