...start the morning is Barbara Walters, comely regular on the Today show. Her skin should be olive, her anchor desk light mahogany. The set is still performing 17 hours later if Johnny Carson signs off sunburned behind a light green desk. For fans who tune in late on thin-skinned shows, color Lassie strawberry blond and Batman's tights puce, his cape true blue...
...West Madison Street billiard parlor in Chicago to try to shove a ball in a pocket. Looking like the fiercest shark in the pool, Nobel Prizewinner Martin Luther King Jr., 37, was making the best of a bad leave on the eleven with a thin-cut one-rail shot to the corner.

I saw I couldn't do much with the piano, so I decided to play a Chopin Polonaise, invariably an effective piece for an unmusical person. When I struck the first big fortissimo...
...layers of lunar dust, said University of Arizona Astronomer Gerard Kuiper, some parts of the moon could still present a hazard to landing spacecraft. Photographs from the U.S. Ranger 9 moon probe show that between 5% and 10% of the lunar surface is covered by depressions, apparently areas of thin crust that have sagged into caves or voids under the surface. Should a spacecraft land on such a crust, he believes, it might crash through into the cave below...
