...obeyed. No one has yet produced records specifying Charlie Company's mission on March 16, 1968. What Calley's orders were that day may not be known until his lawyers present his case in court and others corroborate or contradict his claims. One of the contradictors might well be Captain Ernest Medina, the company commander, who has not been charged and thus may testify for the prosecution that he gave no unlawful orders, and that Calley misinterpreted those that were given.

Scientists were just as elated over what the astronauts had left behind. Performing well at the Ocean of Storms base, ALSEP (for Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package) had begun transmitting valuable data even before the astronauts left the moon. For the time being, earth controllers commanded two of the instruments-designed to investigate any traces of lunar atmosphere-to go into a stand-by mode; that would allow earthly gases left within them to bake out during the torrid two-week-long lunar day (maximum temperature: 240° F.). Once freed of these vapors, which interfere with their high-voltage...
