...garment in question is a stretch-nylon body stocking that covers everything but the head and hands of the wearer and sells for $9 to $14. "Covers" is an exaggeration, as the ads make clear: "No interruptions to mar the lovely line of you," and "Reveals what it covers."

According to one Government study, air pollution costs Americans an average $65 a year; the figure may hit $200 in particularly filthy cities like New York and St. Louis.

Ignoring their own auto-exhaust fumes...
After Aldrin has climbed back aboard the LM, Armstrong will send the sample boxes up the nylon conveyor and re-enter the spacecraft, about 2½ hours after he first emerged. The astronauts will then toss their PLSS units, overshoes and a camera out of the spacecraft to reduce the possibility of bringing back equipment contaminated by any lunar organisms that might exist...
