The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I will be watching the

In Bill Moyers’s book A World of Ideas II, Jacob Needleman remembers,
"I was an observer at the launch of Apollo 17 in 1975. It was a night launch, and there were hundreds of cynical reporters all over the lawn, drinking beer, wisecracking, and waiting for this 35-story-high rocket.
