LUNAR LOOK: Today is the 20th anniversary of the completion of the seven NASA Apollo missions which put a man on the moon. You don’t have to take a vacation to the Smithsonian to see what one of those moon rocks looks like. You can drive to Yorba Linda, to the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace. It’s a small chunk called Lunar Sample No. 15,555,160, housed in a pure dry nitrogen container. . . . A bonus: the telephone Nixon used when he talked to Neil Armstrong after the first moon landing.
