Apollo 15 astronauts David Scott and James Irwin gathered rocks at the Apennine Mountains base that scientists say could be large anorthosites containing crystals. Researchers at NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center view the finds as potentially showing pieces of the moon's original crust, formed over 4 billion years ago, with confirmation to follow laboratory analysis.

Self-Service Gas Hearing Shaping Up in Kansas
John Baldwin of Kwik Shops leads opposition to a new state fire marshal rule aimed at banning self service gas. A public hearing on the permanent regulation is set for August 9 in Topeka after an earlier Sedgwick County ruling voided a prior ban. Baldwin argues consumers save 2 to 4 cents a gallon and that labor costs push prices higher. He notes at least 18 states allow self service, with some estimates over 30 nationwide.
