Unlike most scientists, Chemist Urey believes that water-not lava-formed the smooth lunar plains and filled-in depressions revealed in photographs taken by Ranger and Orbiter spacecraft. The dark plains, he says, "look precisely like the bottoms of dried-up, primitive oceans or lakes." And material in filled-in craters and crevices may once have been flowing...
...moon theory on far more than mere visual evidence. As he sees it, most of the earth's stony meteorites come from the moon, knocked off by other meteorites and occasional comets that have bombarded the lunar surface. Imbedded in many of those moon-sent meteorites are smooth fragments that appear to have been shaped by frictional effects like those that would be caused by flowing water. They also contain such minerals as clay-type silicates and calcium carbonates that Urey says "can hardly be accounted for except by the action of liquid water over some length of time...
Master Richard Gill, who plays the Count, would be well worth hearing by himself. His voice is as majestic as his bearing; he is at once dramatic and agile. If his tone quality were only a little more variable, if he could sound sweet and smooth when necessary, he would be unassailable...
...Bounces. Surveyor's pictures also showed that the spacecraft was resting on a gentle slope inside a saucer-shaped crater about 150 ft. across and 20 ft. deep. Although the camera could not peek above the crater's rim, it revealed that the crater floor was relatively smooth, pockmarked with some smaller craters and littered with pebbles and a few rocks no larger than a foot across. All in all, it appeared that the area, one of the eight selected as possible targets for the Apollo mission, was level and uncluttered enough to allow the Apollo lunar module...
...opening movement of J.S. Bach's Sonata No.5 was reposed and meditative. Kalam used the lyrical possibilities of the piano to spin out long, smooth lines. Street's approach was even more subdued; his tone was always sweet-sometimes almost ethereal...
