Moon Dust Astonishes Scientists After Apollo 12 Fetch
Scientists opened a bag of lunar dust and rocks from Apollo 12 and found material unlike anything on Earth. The 38 pounds included dusty gray soil and angular crystals, some sparkling, packed in a suitcase sized aluminum container. Geologist Grant Eiken described the rocks as igneous colored with dark and white surfaces, noting about 40 percent dark and 60 percent whitish. The haul was the final and largest lunar sample collected by Armstrong and Aldrin, handled through insulated ports in a cabinet during study.

Memory of Marilyn Dims as Fans Move On
Seven years after Marilyn Monroe death, memory fades with visitors few and sporadic. Four floral tributes lay at her grave beside daily roses from Joe DiMaggio. Westwood Memorial Park notes fewer mourners, as public interest shifts with time. DiMaggio wept at services where Lee Strasberg spoke, and Monroe rests in a pink marble mausoleum.
