While teamster officials met in Boston (see ECONOMY & BUSINESS) the vigil continued at the three-acre Hoffa compound north of Detroit. Burly Teamsters patrolled the grounds; an antenna on the roof signaled the presence of FBI agents within the two-story white frame house. Hoffa's wife Josephine occasionally walked the family's German shepherd. For the first time since her husband's disappearance, she left the compound briefly in the company of her son James. Young Hoffa continued to meet a dwindling band of reporters. He added an intriguing new ingredient to the case when...
...quality of the material), but after "Chinatown," maybe she deserves another chance. Christopher Plummer co-stars in this Arthur Miller play. (After typing all this, I just realized the show will only appear on Providence, R.I. television. Visit a friend at Brown or tie a kite to your antenna. Or just forget the whole thing.) Ch. 10, 8:30 p.m. 2 1/2 hours...
...code describing the make-up of the solar system, the inhabitants of earth, the present world population and the double helix of the heredity molecule DNA. The signal was transmitted last week by a team of U.S. scientists from the giant radio telescope at Arecibo, Puerto Rico, a vast antenna 1,000 ft. in diameter lining a natural bowl formed by hills. The target was Messier 13, a cluster of some 300,000 stars located on the remote fringe of the Milky Way. Addressed simply to "Occupants" of any planets that may be orbiting Messier 13's stars...
Across San Andreas. Called Project ARIES (for Astronomical Radio Interferometric Earth Surveying), the experiment began last month using NASA'S 210-ft. dish antenna in California's Mojave Desert and a portable 30-ft. antenna at J.P.L.'s home in Pasadena. About 125 miles apart, the antennas formed a direct line across the San Andreas fault, source of California's most devastating quakes. But in coming months the smaller antenna will take to the road and make measurements across other quake-prone terrain. The scientists will bring their equipment back to each site at least once...
...technique can only work with radio sources like quasars that are so far off that their movements in space do not effectively change their relative distance from each antenna. The closer stars in the Milky Way cannot be used because their movements around the galaxy would upset the measurements on earth...
