...closest domestic adviser. Friends report that she invariably keeps the Attorney General waiting while she primps for an evening out, and that he greets her appearance with an unruffled "Hi, gorgeous." The most vocal of all the Cabinet members' wives, Mrs. Mitchell does not hesitate to offer her tart views, as she demonstrated in a recent interview with'TIME Correspondent Dean Fischer...
...other three instruments were anything but idle. Radioing data constantly, ALSEP's magnetometer indicated that the moon's magnetic field-which could offer important clues to the lunar interior-may be considerably stronger than had been believed. Palmer Dyal, one of the magnetometer experimenters, had an esoteric, but speculative explanation: after a period of vulcanism, the moon cooled more rapidly than scientists had heretofore thought, thus preserving a larger portion of its primordial magnetic field...

Page has a much better grasp of the organically developing long line than Eric Clapton, whose style of repetitious punctuation suggests a less sentient man. But Cream was organized around...
