Curiously, if there was any group that was not fully able to appreciate this victory of adventure over science, it was the Apollo astronauts themselves. (All told, there were a dozen moonwalkers; with the death of Apollo 12 astronaut Pete Conrad last week, nine of them survive.) Before his death in 1982, Jack Swigert, command-module pilot of Apollo 13 (a mission that taught NASA a thing or two about adventure), noted that the very thing that qualified lunar astronauts to fly the missions they were flying disqualified them from experiencing them fully.

Justin Cichowski, a 16-year-old on the football team at Jacobs High School in Algonquin, Ill., is proud of his new tips, though he admits to "feeling a little weird when they made me wear the little red hat inside the beauty salon."

...last line of defense against the barbarians is filing into the briefing room at the Maryvale Precinct, home to 229 sworn officers. Marc Atkinson's old squad is just beginning its 3:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. shift. Sergeant Pete Fenton tells them about a fresh homicide and about a tree that will be planted in Marc's honor out front. A chalkboard advisory warns against dining at a certain fast-food joint because a cook with a grudge, just out of jail, is bound to add special ingredients to any cop's dinner...
