...occasions when the author is laughing at the South, she is casual, succinct and totally unpicturesque. An earnest revival preacher loses his audience after a child asks to have his mother cured of a hangover.

Rural Lightning Rod. While no Secretary of Agriculture can hope to be popular, Butz, 62, is an outspoken, Indiana-farm-born veteran of agriculture politics who can serve as Nixon's lightning rod for rural complaints, much as Ezra Taft Benson did for President Eisenhower, and Orville Freeman for both Kennedy and Johnson.

...provocative report came from Physicists John Freeman and H. Kent Hills. They have been keeping track of signals from extremely sensitive devices left behind at the Apollo landing sites and capable of detecting positive ions, atoms or molecules carrying a positive electrical charge. On at least three occasions, the scientists say, the detectors registered activity that was unusual on the atmosphereless moon: clouds of gases were passing by. Analyzing the data, the scientists determined that the gases had the unmistakable characteristics of ionized water vapor...
Even more intriguing, the greatest flow of gases was detected last March 7, when the seismometers left on the moon were registering strong rumblings in the lunar interior. Convinced that the timing of the seismic activity and ion flows was more than coincidental, Freeman concluded that water may well have burst forth from the moon in geyser-like eruptions, an event that would have been recorded by the seismometers...
