Even the.departure from the moon will be somewhat different. Once they rejoin Yankee Clipper 69 miles overhead, Conrad and Bean will send Intrepid's ascent stage crashing into the moon rather than into a lunar orbit. This will eliminate a potential hazard to future lunar navigation as well as cause enough of a thud to give earthbound seismologists a good calibration test of the new lunar seismometer. Next, the astronauts will shoot a series of closeup photographs of the moon, using both ordinary and infra-red film to help NASA planners pick out landing sites for the remaining eight...
...that myth. It is a kind of exploration of the precondition of myth, the psychophysical necessity that brought it into being and confirms its enduring validity. Grotowski begins by stripping away everything that he regards as the excess baggage of drama -makeup, props, lighting effects, music, scenery, a conventional stage.

The peace marchers jammed into a memorial service at Trinity Church, where Investment Banker Andre Meyer, Ogden Corp. Chairman Ralph Ablon and other high executives read the names of war dead from the pulpit...
...spend heavily to educate the public." Test-marketing of a single product can cost up to $1,000,000. To cut the bill, many firms are putting heavier emphasis on refining products before the store trial; they increasingly use small panels of consumers who judge products in each stage of development, from conception to completion...
