“In Mission Control the Gold Team, directed by Gerald Griffin (seated, back of head to camera), prepares to take over from Black Team (Glynn Lunney, seated, in profile) during a critical period. Seven men with elbows on console are Deke Slayton, [to his right is Jim McDivitt, Apollo Program Manager], Joe Kerwin (Black CapCom), Vance Brand (Gold CapCom), Phil Shaffer (Gold FIDO), John Llewellyn (Black RETRO), Charles Deiterich (Gold RETRO), and Lawrence Canin (Black GNC). Standing at right is Chester Lee, Mission Director from NASA's Washington headquarters, and the broad back at right belongs to Rocco Petrone, Apollo Program Director. [To his right, unlit(?) cigar in mouth, is Christopher Kraft, MSC Deputy Director.] [I believe the gentleman nearest the camera, with arm draped across the computer console, to be George Low, NASA Deputy Administrator.] Apollo 13 had two other "ground" teams, the White and the Maroon. All devised heroic measures to save the mission from disaster.”

Actual caption:
“Overall view showing some of the feverish activity in the Mission Operations Control Room (MOCR) of the Mission Control Center (MCC) during the final 24 hours of the problem-plagued Apollo 13 mission. Here, flight controllers and several NASA/MSC officials confer at the flight director's console. When this picture was made, the Apollo 13 lunar landing had already been canceled, and the Apollo 13 crewmembers were in trans-Earth trajectory attempting to bring their crippled spacecraft back home."
No promotional intent; however, this looks damned good:
