Reddish Hue. Viking's mechanical arm also delivered soil, scooped from the same trench, to an inorganic chemical analyzer, which will determine the elements in the material. The inorganic chemistry lab's first findings showed that the soil sample contains calcium, silicon, titanium, aluminum, iron and the iron oxide responsible for the reddish hue of Mars. But Viking's arm may have failed to make delivery to still another miniature laboratory, an organic chemistry analyzer designed to look for evidence of past Martian life. After two attempts, telemetry showed that soil had apparently not reached the interior...

Weideger thinks that women will have to accept the reality of cyclical moods and deal with them, if necessary, through exercise or hormone treatment. Feminists are now exchanging home remedies all the way from lower back massage and raspberry leaf tea to taking calcium ("nature's tranquilizer," said Nutritionist Adelle Davis) before their periods. Some ardent feminists are even urging women friends to examine, smell and taste their own menstrual blood as a way of overcoming traditional attitudes toward menstruation. Others are promoting menstrual extraction-a risky suction procedure-to avoid days of bleeding...

...thirds water, the rest nitrogen, carbon, calcium and a myriad of other chemicals-worth only about $5, even at today's inflated prices. That is the strange machinery of the human body. It appears in unprecedented and almost incredible detail this week on the Public Broadcasting Service (see facing page). Produced by the National Geographic Society and Wolper Productions, created by Irwin Rosten and narrated by Actor E.G. Marshall, the hour-long film is entitled, naturally enough, The Incredible Machine. It uses microscopy, X rays and telescopic lenses tiny enough to penetrate the body's innermost recesses...

...especially those on dialysis treatments, suffer from serious and progressive bone deterioration and may become crippled. Now help may be on the way. A team headed by Dr. Hector DeLuca of the University of Wisconsin has developed a form of vitamin D that enables the body to assimilate calcium from food and deposit it in the bones. They have tested it on about 50 patients so far. DeLuca is confident that the synthetic vitamin will prove invaluable to some 100,000 people who have serious kidney disease. The vitamin D compound has already had dramatic effect on Canadian Arthur Olson...

Horowitz looked up at the counters and scopes that caught the radiation bouncing off the apple, measured pulses, and eventually spit out sets of numbers that revealed which heavy elements were present. He made some quick calculations, and detected iron and calcium--he expected them. He looked at a third set of numbers, and found that it was arsenic--about 30 parts per million...
