John Yovicsin will return as head of the Physical Education Program. Yovicsin will emphasize a conservative program that centers on moving slowly but consistently over the ground and avoids mistakes. He will concentrate on sweeping the end to physical deficits out the door and offering a new slant play to tackle holes in the opposition...
Eventually, Jackson met and corresponded with Angela Davis. In her, he came to see himself--his past and his future--with a new slant. His past, the years that he had spent in the joint, was not the prelude to a danse macabre as it had sometimes seemed, but rather the first steps in a courtship: "Every time I've opened my mouth, assumed my battle stance, I was trying in effect to say I love you, African--African woman...If my enemies, your enemies, prove stronger at least I want them to know that they have made one righteous...
...photographs were as scientifically valuable as they were scenic. A panoramic shot of the mountains, for example, showed distinct layering on the different slopes. But surprisingly, the layers slant in one direction in some places and take a sharply different course in others. Since the layers were probably laid down by the same lava flows, why did they veer off in different directions? The most likely explanation, according to Paul Gast, chief of lunar and planetary science at Houston's Manned Spacecraft Center, is that these flows probably preceded the cataclysmic event (presumably a large meteor impact) that created...
...surface. "The Holy Grail," proclaimed NASA Geochemist Robin Brett, who, like Scott, immediately concluded that the specimen could well be an elusive fragment of the moon's original crust. The crystalline rock, the first large one of its kind found by astronauts, may well give scientists a new slant on the early history of the 4.6 billion-year-old moon. It may also expand man's knowledge of the primordial earth, where wind, water and crustal movements apparently obliterated all rocks older than about 3.4 billion years. The prized rock, Scott reported later in a televised press conference...
Awesome Panorama. If all goes well, the plan calls for a moon landing after a steep, 25° descent. As the astronauts swoop into the mountainous Hadley-Apennine region, the sharp slant of their approach path will give them an excellent view of the designated touchdown area, which is just west of a lunar feature called Index Crater. After that, Apollo activities for the next 67 hrs. are precisely scheduled. The plan...
