Happy to do it Howard (so now I know at least one person reads News <g>). Now I'm just waiting to see how long it takes for the nay sayers to claim the images have been faked. Cheers, patrick
Oh, pooh on the conspiracy theorists. I couldn't care less what they think. The late Walter Cronkite- the most trusted man in America- said it happened, so it happened. "And that's the way it is." (Ad Astra, Walter!) I'm wondering if the landing site for Apollo 11, at least, will be preserved and they don't allow future visitors to track-up the place or pilfer souvenirs. Let's hope so. If so, it stands a good chance of outliving the human race. The only part about it that sticks in my craw is that Nixon's signature is up there.

Hi, to L&O aficionados -- I should point out that you can get into the Regent Street parking terrace through Plum alley. Also, there's an entrance on Second South. Best wishes, Joe
