...Worden were going to make it safety back to earth. As the command module Endeavour came into sight high above the fluffy clouds over the Pacific, it became apparent that one of its three big orange-and-white chutes was fouled and thus not supporting its share of the load. Dropping into the calm seas 300 miles north of Hawaii several feet per second faster than planned, the moonship created a mighty splash. But despite the jolting landing the astronauts were safely home. Man's fourth and most productive moon-landing mission had ended successfully...
...Grass. Conveniences like these, however, are regarded by many inmates as a fair exchange for the shortage of real flora and fauna. "I like being able to run over and pick up a loaf of bread," says Mrs. Marcia Reese, waiting in the laundromat for a load of nappies to dry.

...consequence, scheduled lines began flying emptier and emptier planes. The average "load factor" on the North Atlantic fell from 53.2% in the first quarter of 1970 to 46.8% in the first quarter of 1971. The U.S. lines did less well than the average; Pan Am registered 38% and TWA 39.5%. True, the lines usually have slim tourist business during the early and late months of the year and raise their averages by packing them in during the summer rush.
