...hair. Later, his wife reported: "His biggest shock is the way society as a whole has changed. The mood of the country has changed. Also the Catholic Church. It's like beginning to live all over again." Mrs. Galanti said that her husband wanted to hear about the moon shots, about President Nixon's China trip. "He's interested in Women's Lib," she added, "and he goes along with it. I'm glad about that, because I've become pretty aggressive...

To a large degree, the U.S. was able to muster the necessary technology to defeat the Nazis in World War II and, more recently, to beat the Russians to the moon because it was able to build on a vast foundation of basic research that had been done for decades in university and commercial labs. If this backlog is not replenished, the U.S. may be unable to meet some future scientific challenge...
...suddenly shouted, "Hey, there is orange soil! It's all over!" Schmitt's excitement was shared by scientists back on earth.

His trembling hands try the poetry shelf, but the words of Auden seem as odd as the day he has just lived...
Slayton passed his examinations with flying colors, and last spring NASA again cleared him. Still, his chances of getting an assignment seemed as remote as the moon. All places on the remaining lunar expeditions were already filled; crews had also been picked for the three earth-orbiting Skylab missions. Only one faint chance remained, and Slayton was not about to miss it for lack of qualifications. Even before Washington and Moscow firmly agreed last year to undertake the historic joint mission, Deke began to study Russian...
