...free. Last week one of Mariner 6's infra-red spectrometers balked just as it was supposed to search out the gases and vapors in the Martian atmosphere. JPL technicians explained that the spectrometer, which should be cooled to below - 400° F. to operate efficiently, refused to chill at all. Mariner 7 caused even greater concern at Mission Control when it went off the air entirely for seven hours. Apparently struck by a tiny meteoroid, the spacecraft lost its fix on the star Canopus and its directional antenna spun away from earth. A new roll-and-search command...
...Government policy, the A.C.L.U, insisted, has already created "a chill and a pall" among those legitimate political protesters who might fall within the Government's new eavesdropping "dragnet." University of Michigan Law Professor Yale Kamisar speculated recently that the Nixon Administration was openly inviting a showdown with the Supreme Court on the wiretapping issue.

The most arresting of these is King John, in the recent adaptation by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, which turns Shakespeare's melodrama into a brutal and very moving confrontation of activist idealism with the chill realities. Suddenly, also, there is great theatrical interest in the Hussites. Several plays have been put on or are due next season about this Czech religious reform movement that was savagely suppressed from outside. Thus the creative variety and resource of Czech theater is its greatest strength-together with...
...drinking water. When lunar water is finally available in ample supply, it could even be used for rocket fuel. Moon technicians will decompose it into hydrogen and oxygen gases by electrolysis, then feed the gases into a lunar cryostat, a device that can reach extremely low temperatures during the chill lunar night without using power. The resulting products would be liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, familiar space-age fuels...
...conditions at two labor camps, built in the late 1930s and intended to be used for only a few years. The camps were a hideous collection of 9-ft. by 11-ft. tin shacks, boiling in the summer sun and lacking both indoor plumbing and heat for the chill nights. Tulare officials subsequently built modern accommodations...
