...stay by you." The two napped; then Mrs. Pike decided after all to try to reach help. "I really thought we'd both die," she remembers, "so Jim and I said goodbye to each other." She walked all night, guided only by moonlight. Once, hemmed in by sheer canyon walls, she had to scale an almost vertical cliff while "simply hanging from the rocks." Later, on a steep downhill grade, she was so exhausted she simply lay down and rolled until she stopped. Finally, near dawn, some Gaza Arabs working on a new road heard her weak cries...
What the police found when summoned to the Benedict Canyon house of Miss Tate, 26, wife of Film Director Roman Polanski, 36, was far bloodier and grimmer than they had let on. TIME learned last week.

They have had more than 120 hours of instruction from NASA geologists, and they have practiced collecting rock and soil samples in lunarlike terrain such as the Grand Canyon, California's Medicine Lake highlands, the Arizona meteorite crater, the arctic wastelands of Iceland, and Alaska's Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. Even their on-the-spot descriptions of the moon, to be transmitted instantaneously by radio to earth, should be of substantial value...
...plight. Little in the way of imaginative social work has been attempted. Putting shingled rooftops over each Havasupai's head is a questionable response to his needs, and even this will be done only gradually. According to Government plans, five houses will be lowered into the canyon each year, which means that the project will not be completed until...
