A MAN WELL TRAVELED

     On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first human being to set foot on the moon.  Present Nixon, authoritative acclaimed the event as the greatest since the Creation.  Armstrong himself, as he took the last step from the ladder of the lunar module, onto the moon's surface, said, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
    Much later in Armstrong's life, Photographer Yousuf Karsh and his wife were having lunch with Neil Armstrong after a photographic session.  Armstrong politely questioned the couple about the many different countries they had visited. "But Mr. Armstrong," protested Mrs. Karsh, "You've walked on the moon.  We want to hear about your travels."
    "But that's the only place I've ever been," replied Armstrong apologetically.
