In the past few weeks Ford has engineered a sharp sales upturn, thanks partly to the sudden popularity of its futuristically styled Taurus and Sable vehicles. But GM has a troublesome surplus of more than 1 million unsold 1986-model cars and trucks.

Orange Soil. Scientists shared the enthusiasm of NASA'S engineers. In Houston, they eagerly anticipated examining Apollo 17's 250 lbs. of moon rocks, 3,000 photographs and reams of scientific data. Every sign pointed to the likelihood that the Taurus-Littrow landing site had fulfilled the greatest hopes of the scientists who selected it, that the findings in the area would help fill important gaps in the lunar chronology.
