...Apollo 11 literary fallout about an astronaut who returns from the moon with a funny little creature clinging to his space suit.

"Many of my people saw their houses blown away, but the insurance companies say this isn't so," says Chalin Perez, president of the Plaquemines police jury, the parish's governing body. Perez, a New Orleans attorney, is forming a community legal group...
