...more disappointed than Nobel Laureate Harold Urey, 76, when the 55 Ibs. of lunar samples brought back by the Apollo 11 astronauts turned out to be igneous or heat-formed rock, possibly of volcanic origin. Long a champion of a "cold" moon-the theory that it has never had a molten core like the earth's-the University of California chemist sadly admitted that he could have been wrong. The moon, he conceded in the face of the rocks, might be hot, or geologically active, after all. "Poor old fellow," said one of NASA's younger geologists several...
...Stills & Nash. Last month, sounding more and more like a law firm, it became Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young when another Springfield boy, Neil Young, joined up.

...Rock pioneers like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Jefferson Airplane developed a distinctive, cohesive style by playing together in obscurity before they reached stardom. By contrast, the new Supergroups bring together mature musicians with different traditions and personal tastes who are capable of creating what Winwood calls "the great blend in music." "It's all coming together -blues, jazz, folk, pop, rock, everything," he says. The prospects are fascinating. If the trend keeps up, the ultimate Supergroup might one day consist of virtuosos on the sitar, five-string banjo and an electronic Moog, with an ex-Beatle thrown...
