...working for the past three years on a project aimed at evaluating the environmental impact of deep drilling on Antarctica. As part of their work, they regularly analyzed the material brought up by the drills to determine what surface contaminants had seeped into the soil. Some experiments conducted on cores taken from layers of soil, rock and ice that had been laid down between 10,000 and 1 million years ago produced startling results. Several samples taken from the Ross Island core-one from a depth of 1,260 ft. -contained rod-shaped bacteria of a type not encountered...
Heat Shock. Following their normal procedure, the researchers sterilized the exterior of the core samples with a blowtorch, then used a sterile drill to remove sections containing the bacteria. Their precautions produced an unexpected side effect. When they examined chips from the Ross Island core under a microscope, they found that microbes were moving around. "We may have heat-shocked them out of dormancy," says Cameron. Placed in a nutrient broth, the rod-shaped bacteria continued to move about. The club-shaped organisms proved even more responsive. On a culture plate, they reproduced and set up colonies that looked...
Farewell, Deep Throat? So long, Miss Jones'? Could it be that the lust affair is over? Within the past year, two hard-core flicks (Deep Throat and The Devil in Miss Jones) were among the nation's top-grossing films and porno stars like Linda Lovelace (Throat) and Marilyn Chambers (Behind the Green Door) became nationally-known figures.

At present, Mitterrand's support probably represents the hard-core vote he will get from the dedicated left: about 20% coming from the Communists, a bit more than that from the Socialists. His problem-which has faced every leftist leader in modern French history who has approached the threshold of national power-is to overcome the French bourgeoisie...
