...crater's edge, only 600 ft. away, Intrepid and the nearby umbrella antenna gleam in the sunlight. To the dismay of scientists-who wanted to study the discoloration of Surveyor's white paint-all of the Surveyor pictures are in black and white; while photographing the little craft, the astronauts forgot to exchange their black-and-white film for color...
Clinging Dust. In one movie sequence, shot through Intrepid's window as the craft settled toward a landing, dust kicked up by the descent engine begins to obscure the lunar landscape. It finally blots out the landing site completely, vividly demonstrating why Conrad had to make an instrument landing. Another strip, shot on the trip home, shows a dazzling eclipse of the sun caused by the earth itself...
Youngest Captain. Although Yankee Clipper capsized as it hit the water, the astronauts quickly righted their craft by inflating three large flotation bags attached to its tip. Lifted aboard the aircraft carrier by helicopter, the crew was hustled into the same mobile quarantine van that housed the men of Apollo 11.

Allen Berube, a co-ordinator of the organization, said that the workshop will tie in with a boycott against traditional Christmas shopping. Christmas these days involves a lot of unnecessary advertising, excess packaging, and garbage. It is a time of sales and profits more than anything else. The Craft Workshop, which will last from Dec. 7 to 23, is intended to provide an alternative way of giving at Christmas. People will come in and make gifts with the help...
