...budding bureaucrat has been missing since Feb. 8 from his Berkeley job. Missing with him, at last count, is more than $600,000 from ABAG's coffers. Investigators charged that, while ostensibly grappling with such area-wide concerns as water conservation, smog control and sewage disposal in his $218-a-week post as ABAG's No. 2 man, Truax, 26, was also trying to beat the system in Las Vegas' casinos. He lost "at least $200,000" at one casino, says California Assistant Attorney General Marshall S. Mayer, and perhaps more than that at several others, where...

Not free-flowing, gurgling water, to be sure, but water that is chemically locked within rock. Now, with the aid of a half-century-old observation, he reported to an American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics meeting in Los Angeles last week, he has found additional evidence of lunar water...
...major lunar features are volcanic in origin. Since volcanic formations on earth contain hydrous rocks, Green reasons, they may well exist on the moon. Merely heating such rocks to between 500°F. and 800°F., he says, will release as much as a gallon of water per cubic foot of rock...
