...unmanned lunar orbiters were being thrown unexpectedly off course as they passed over certain lunar seas. Careful calculation showed that this extra gravitational tug was apparently due to concentrations of denser material under the moon's surface. These "mascons," as they were dubbed, still defy explanation, although theories abound: one says that they are heavy material that crystallized early in the moon's history; another claims they are the compacted residue of meteors. To complicate matters, careful tracking of the Apollo 12 and 14 spacecraft has shown that there are also areas of less gravitational pull on the moon; this...
Such a fate ultimately plagued the Warren Court. Examples abound. The Warren Court's application of most Bill of Rights safeguards to all criminal defendants now seems as self-wounding to the nation's highest tribunal as it then seemed vital to American justice. By overlooking the real fears of a crime-ridden society, the court made itself a political target, which in turn encouraged police evasion of its rules, the very official lawlessness that it had aimed to curb in the first place...
...Catacombs in Seattle, I Am in Spokane. A strip joint has been converted to a "Christian nightclub'' in San Antonio. Communal "Christian houses" are multiplying like loaves and fishes for youngsters hungry for homes, many reaching out to the troubled with round-the-clock telephone hot lines. Bibles abound: whether the cherished, fur-covered King James Version or scruffy, back-pocket paperbacks, they are invariably well-thumbed and often memorized. "It's like a glacier," says "Jesus-Rock" Singer Larry Norman, 24. "It's growing and there's no stopping...
...little more than energetic exercise or personified precision. Robbins has caught the passion that underlies Bach's formal rhythms, notably in the serpentine, body-entangling duets of Patricia McBride and Helgi Tomasson, which are to the sophisticated eye more erotic than anything in Oh, Calcutta! Small human touches abound: John Clifford, as the leader of a group, suddenly stands motionless in seeming awe as dancers twirl and leap around him; an acrobatic quartet of male dancers cartwheels and somersaults like refugees from the Moiseyev Dance Company. Robbins, however, never loses the architectural contour of the piece. More often than...
...bear witness to that fact, the dominant impression one has of the class's subsequent choice of occupation is that of dogged professionalism. Lawyers, brokers, doctors and professors abound. Scholarly monograms are listed in abundance. But traces of flamboyant personality are rare. And the true eccentrics must have made off with those last of the Union waitresses for they are almost nowhere to be found...
