Except for the black sky in the background, the photograph might have been mistaken for a composite of the scenic grandeur of Grand Canyon and the barren desolation of the Badlands of South Dakota. But when it was flashed unexpectedly onto a screen at a meeting of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics in Boston last week, sophisticated space scientists and engineers recognized the terrain immediately. It was a spectacular closeup shot of lunar landscape. That photograph of the moon's Crater of Copernicus, said NASA Scientist Martin Swetnick, is "one of the great pictures of the century...
...week's end the astronauts still had unfinished business. Before splashing down in the western Atlantic on Tuesday, they planned a tethered flight with Agena and a space walk by Aldrin designed to evaluate man's ability to work in space. In another experiment, they will photograph a sodium vapor cloud released into the upper atmosphere by a high-flying French rocket to coincide with the passage of Gemini...
Even in these publishing days when anything go-goes, it is not often that a character from a novel can show up in a photograph on the front of the jacket all splayed out upside down on an opulently embroidered bedspread, wearing one slipper, two fancy garters, and what used to be called a ball gown.

He took advantage of the lack of crises to travel around North Africa, particularly Morocco, for which he developed an enduring love. (Today his office, which is his castle, is known behind his back as "little Morocco," because it is lined with books on Morocco...
Last spring, a Boston Grotto party, in upstate New York, discovered a new passage with excellent formations, leading from a well-known cavern. I joined a trip three weeks later to photograph and map the new section. But as we were returning to the known part of the cave at the end of the day, we saw the lights of another party just outside. Going back to the new passage would have made too much noise. Instead we doused our lamps and for forty minutes crouched in a stream in the dark, until the party had moved farther...
