...seismometer went to work immediately. It recorded and transmitted to earth evidence of the tremors caused when Aldrin hammered tubes into the lunar surface to collect core samples. It also registered the thud when the astronauts dropped their backpacks from Eagle's hatch. But the first test of the laser reflector failed when a beam shot from California's Lick Observatory missed the reflector by about 50 miles...
...plan to spend two days in continuous coverage (Sunday, July 20-Monday, July 21), when the descent to the moon's surface is scheduled. A camera in the lunar module will transmit, live, man's first step on the moon, and Astronauts Aldrin and Armstrong as they collect rock samples. Later, the timetable calls for progress reports on re-entry and splashdown in the Pacific. A final summation of the nine-day journey will be broadcast on each of the three networks on Thursday, July 24, in prime time...
Exploring the area within 100 ft. of the LM, Aldrin will scoop up scientifically interesting rocks, while Armstrong photographs each site and takes notes about the specimens. Armstrong will also thrust a core sampler as far as 12 in. into the soil to collect subsurface samples uncontaminated by the exhaust from the LM's descent engine. Up to 60 lbs. of documented rocks will then be placed in a seeond aluminum sample box, along with core samples and the aluminum solar particle collector, and sealed...
Nathan and Rosenberg are far apart on many issues. But they share a deep concern for the state of medicine-and so do ever increasing numbers of their colleagues. "There are durned few students coming into medicine simply to collect country-club memberships," says Dr. Merrell Flair, assistant dean of Northwestern Medical School. At Tufts, Dr. H. Jack Geiger, a professor in the department of preventive medicine, estimates that 20% of medical students are activists willing to spend time on projects of liberal bent, while another 20% are sympathetic...
...cash. Even those inveterate bulls, the managers of go-go funds, are unloading stocks, and the hedge funds have been hard hit. Some money is being shifted out of stocks into bonds. People who buy stocks on margin have to pay 11% interest, but those who buy bonds collect as much as 8% interest-a rewarding spread. Though analysts tirelessly repeat that the market is oversold, few see much chance for a strong rally until investors discern significant moves toward peace in Viet Nam or easier money at home...
