Violence has reached such a peak in the Danang area that lights have been installed on the streets of Cap Tien Sha to curb roving bands of white and black sailors who were attacking each other at night. At Dong Tam in the Delta and Dien Hoa north of Saigon, bands of black soldiers still waylay whites. A white officer in Danang was critically injured when a black Marine rolled a grenade under his headquarters. At the officer's side was a black sergeant with a reputation for not tolerating Afro haircuts and Black Power salutes...
...cult is now growing up around the once-despised car. Edsel buffs around the country are banding together to compare their cars and defend them to any one who will listen. Edselana in the form of badges, buckles and cap medallions is circulating. The trinkets feature a reproduction of Edsel's rather forgettable front-end design. Two weeks ago, 50 members of the Edsel Owners Club of America rolled into Reno, under a banner reading "The Edsels Are Here," for the club's first Western regional meeting. Last weekend, the 600-member club held its first national convention...
...added, "One cannot restrain the speculation that the gases might be of biological origin." If that is the case, he theorized, they may have been produced by organisms that found shelter in a relatively hospitable ( -94°F.) region near the edge of Mars' southern polar cap, where Mariner 7 concentrated its cameras and instruments. There, he said, they might have drawn water from the polar ice and protection from the sun's ultraviolet radiation under a cloud of carbon-dioxide particles...
...many. It was not long before he endured his first imprisonment and betrayal. Typically, while his colleagues scuttled out of town to escape the police, Kropotkin was caught because he felt obliged to keep his date with the local geological society to expound his theory on the ice cap. A weaver in his "circle" broke his alias to the police. There was no trial. The prince was shut up "at the Czar's pleasure." However, the Czar did allow him books and papers to work ("till sunset only") on his two-volume geography...
...photographs from as close as 111,400 miles. Far more stunning than the earlier series, these pictures brought out what seemed like cloud formations near the south pole, verified the presence of numerous craters, and revealed shadings in what had previously been thought to be an all-white polar cap. Leighton spotted at least two features that he thought might be "canals," although he speculated that they might have been caused by electronic noise...
