...made before the NSF settled on 6,875-ft. Kitt Peak in Arizona. The peak's flat top, high in the clear air, is well above hot desert breezes, but not so high that ice will become a problem. And above it the atmosphere is relatively free of dust and clouds...
Another instrument carried by Mariner II counts micrometeorites. According to its latest reports, these tiny particles of cosmic dust are surprisingly scarce in interplanetary space, about one-thousandth as numerous as near the earth. Apparently the earth somehow concentrates them; they may be falling toward it or revolving around it like microscopic satellites...
...season for four years, slipped past Tulane and then beat mighty Michigan State. Still smarting from its 21-3 Rose Bowl defeat last New Year's Day, U.C.L.A. got ample revenge by toppling Ohio State from its lofty perch atop the nation's college ratings.

The University of Southern California was No. 3, Washington No. 5, U.C.L.A...
Barcelona was in the path of a tornado. As the sky opened, every sun-baked gulch became a torrent. The dust-dry beds of the rivers on either side of Barcelona carried floods 75 ft. wide.

Baseball still has a few speed demons willing to test a pitcher's nerve and a catcher's long throw to second; rarely does anyone go for third or home. This year Wills stole third 14 times, home twice. On two occasions he stole three bases...
