...Boer War against Britain and argued that "the same applies to the black people in their struggle today." The resolution has been condemned in the South African Parliament and by the Dutch Reformed churches, which do not belong to the council. But the new Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town, the Rt. Rev. Bill B. Burnett, last week defended it. Said he: "It faces us with things as they...
...exobiologists.* Last week technicians at TRW Inc. in Redondo Beach, Calif., were finishing two miniaturized laboratories that will be able to test Martian soil for evidence of life. Next August, in the climax to NASA'S $1 billion Project Viking, two unmanned spacecraft will be fired aloft from Cape Canaveral. After an eleven-month journey, the Viking ships will swing into orbit around Mars. Each will release a lander containing a life-seeking laboratory. After descending with the aid of parachute and braking rockets, the first sterilized package should touch down on July 4, 1976, near the mouth...
...residents along the Carolina coast last fall, it looked like an invasion of monsters from the deep.

...Incredible String Band, the Elvin Bishop Band and the Marshall Tucker Band finish up the weekend at the Cape Sunday night. The string Band is English and plays olde folke stuff, with lots of mandolins and other esoterica, and is generally soft and pleasant, sometimes extraordinarily lovely. Elvin Bishop was the lead guitarist in the Paul Butterfield Blues Band for years and years and is now on his own. He looks a little like Chico Marx and when he was with Butterfield he held his own playing blues in the same band as Michael Bloomfield, so he's no slouch...
