...planet's surface. Not so, say U.S. Electrical Engineers Arvydas Kliore and Dan Cain. The Venusian at mosphere, they report in the current issue of Journal of Atmospheric Sciences, is much hotter and far more crushing than the Soviets think. On the surface the temperature is actually close to 900° F., the atmospheric pressure a staggering 75 to 100 times the sea level pressure on Earth...
Edouard Vuillard was, in his own words, an armchair painter. In search of subject matter, he rarely ventured beyond the Montmartre apartment he shared with his mother, and then only to the homes of his few close friends. The apartment also served as his mother's dressmaking shop; it was constantly alive with seamstresses and customers exchanging confidences about fittings, and cluttered with bolts of satins and silks, ribbons and pattern snippings. In this homely setting, Vuillard, who derisively referred to himself as "the in-timist," fashioned vignettes of quiet domesticity that suggest a less radiant...
...million complex 35 miles south of Los Angeles, was built in 1947 by Frank Vessels Jr. and his late father on the site of a former beet farm. Los Alamitos drew 457,080 fans last year and attendance is up 30% this year. It pays better than beets, too: close to $750,000 a night passes through Los Alamitos' parimutuel windows...
...Space. Beyond this "minimal" program, the scientists say, there are other planetary opportunities that the U.S. should grasp. In 1973 and 1975, for example, the planets will be positioned so that a Mariner flying past Venus will be whipped by Venusian gravity into a trajectory that will carry it close to Mercury, affording man his first glimpse of the sun's nearest neighbor. And in 1977 and 1978, planetary positions will enable a spacecraft flying by Jupiter to take a gravity-boosted "grand tour" that will also take it on past Saturn, Uranus and Neptune...
