Anecdote Two:
The British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was a frequent dinner guest at theWhite House. At a dinner one evening, a woman seated next to Churchill keptcomplaining about his policies. She told him, "if I were your wife, I would give youpoison." he replied, "if I were your husband, I would take it."
Practise reading the following interview:
Reporter: I'm struck from the movies and the still pictures by the difference in thevery hostile appearance of the moon when you're orbiting over it or some distancefrom it and the warmer colors and the relatively apparently more friendlyappearance of it when you're on the surface. I'd like to ask Colonel Collins if he getsthat same impression from the pictures.
Collins: The moon changes character as the angle of the sunlight striking its surfacechanges. At very low sun angles close to the terminator at dawn or dusk, it has theharsh, forbidding characteristics which you see in a lot of the photographs.On the other hand, when the sun is more closely overhead, the midday situation,the moon takes on more of a brown color. It becomes almost a rosy looking place——a fairly friendly place so that from dawn through midday through dusk you runthe whole gamut. It starts off very forbidding, becomes friendly, and then becomesforbidding again as the sun disappears.
