...some combination of the above...The contradictory message that the girl gets, from society as well as from her parents, it that is she is too smart, too independent, and above all, too serious about her work, she is unfeminine and will therefore never get married... Once the thin crust of encouragement is broken, a deep well of social conditioning is discovered underneath. She goes into a tailspin of anxiety as she struggles to reverse her appetite for human fulfillment, an appetite she now learns is in direct contradiction to her feminine fulfillment...Our culture has made a deep split...
...Upper Crust. Architect Safdie originally designed Habitat as a pilot low-cost housing project, but its present tenants are definitely upper crust: professors, architects, lawyers, musicians and business executives. CMHC advertises it as "the most sophisticated place to live in Canada," which is a jarring contrast with Architect Safdie's original intentions. Safdie himself, feeling that rents were unrealistically high, moved out of Habitat in protest three years...
Mysterious Silence. Despite the storm, readings taken by Mariner's infrared spectrometer enabled JPL investigators to identify several earthlike minerals in the Martian crust, including quartz, granite and anorthocite. Those findings caused considerable excitement among the scientists. They indicated that Mars had at one point in its history undergone melting and that lighter elements had floated to the surface, later hardening into an earthlike crust. Included among the lighter elements are carbon compounds that were necessary for the development of life on earth. Said NASA Exobiologist Jerry Soffen, who is project scientist for the Viking program that will make...
...undergo a 21-day postflight quarantine. But they used almost every spare moment to help in the preliminary rock analysis. They were especially interested in Scott's white, coarse-grained "Genesis rock"-which may be a fragment of the moon's original 4.6 billion-year-old crust. Indeed, the scientific dividends from Apollo 15 were proving to be so great that NASA announced that it was giving a berth to astronaut-geologist Harrison Schmitt on the final scheduled moon voyage, Apollo 17, next year. Thus, he will become the first scientist to walk the moon...
...crystals; to scientists his description indicated that it had once been molten and had cooled slowly, probably far below the surface. "The Holy Grail," proclaimed NASA Geochemist Robin Brett, who, like Scott, immediately concluded that the specimen could well be an elusive fragment of the moon's original crust. The crystalline rock, the first large one of its kind found by astronauts, may well give scientists a new slant on the early history of the 4.6 billion-year-old moon. It may also expand man's knowledge of the primordial earth, where wind, water and crustal movements apparently...
