...like the Quorn, which was organized 250 years ago, still flourish. But the 200 hunts in the British Isles today include such proletarian pacesetters as the Banwen Miners, a club formed in 1963 by Welsh coal diggers. While the miners may not all wear the scarlet coat and velvet cap, they bound after the fox with abandon. The Duchess of Beaufort, who rode with them one Saturday, graciously paid the supreme compliment of pronouncing the pace "grueling...

What little Martian water there is exists as polar-cap frost or vapor in the atmosphere; there are no oceans or even lakes similar to those in which the first terrestrial life evolved.

Lou Gothard, an active member of TALO, thinks this kind of unity is a necessity for community action. Although he has nationalist sympathies, he feels that nationalist have often hampered effective action by taking a hard, doctrinaire line that prevents coalition. "The function of nationalism is to point out the fallacies of the civil rights movement," Gothard said, implying that before equality can be achieved, Negroes must...
