...your article on "The Presidency" [Feb. 12], you stated that the slightly used planks over which "the President has trod" would be sold at the usual exorbitant prices. What is the worth of a slightly used Congress, over which the President has trod...

They have not even finished knocking down the Inaugural stands and putting that used lumber "on which the President has trod" up for sale at the usual exorbitant prices. But despite all that sense of new beginning, there is something else that one feels in this city. It is a little like some of the ground mist that drifts up from Foggy Bottom on these rainy mornings.

Located at the southeastern edge of the Sea of Rains, the perilous highland landing site is farther north of the lunar equator than any area yet trod by man. It offers a scientifically tantalizing sampling of four major types of lunar features: a mare (or lunar sea of once molten lava), an alpine range called the Apennines, a deep, snaking rille or gorge and a variety of puzzling smaller mounds and craters. Scientists hope to recover fragments...
