...visitor to Venus were insulated and refrigerated against the 536° F. surface temperature, he might survive long enough to see both a sunset and a sunrise, which occur 59 earth days apart. When it was high in the sky, the sun would appear as a familiar disk-if it could be seen through the murky Venusian clouds. But as it set, according to Stanford University Engineer and Physicist Von R. Eshleman, the disk would gradually diffuse itself around the entire horizon as a glowing band for the remainder of the night; sunlight is so bent, or refracted...

A Hall of Mirrors' three main characters slide along the rim of vagrancy in New Orleans. Rheinhardt is an alcoholic disk jockey who relies on soup kitchens for survival; his adoring girl friend has a look that makes cops mistake her for a prostitute; Rainey is a physically repellent welfare worker who gets chased off the streets by the very people he is trying to help. All three become ruinously involved...
