Cernan also had reason to be embarrassed. With one swing of his geological hammer, he accidentally clobbered the $13,000,000 moon car, knocking off part of one of its rear fiberglass fenders, which act as shields against the spray of dust churned up by the rover's wire mesh wheels. Cernan tried to reattach the section of fender with gaffer tape. But because of the everpresent, clinging fine-grained lunar dust, it would not stick. As precious minutes ticked away.

Journalists from these organizations will not sit on the council. A number of foundations will provide a budget of about $400,000 a year...
...opening duel, the Big Red routed Harvard, 22-6, losing only three decisions to the Crimson. UMass won the meet by edging Cornell in a down-to-the-wire battle, 18-15, and drubbing Harvard...
