To the bleat of whistles, the students trotted forward in their snakedancing columns, chanting, "Oppose the Viet Nam war!" and "Down with the Security Pact!" Many were stained by the purple dye which had been mixed with the water in fire hoses used to fight them off in an earlier attack on Japan's Defense Headquarters.

Because of white clouds of frozen ammonia crystals at the outer fringes of the atmosphere, the red atmosphere is largely invisible from above. But below the red spot, some scientists believe, there might be a giant meteor crater in the solid hydrogen surface of the planet. This crater, the NASA researchers suggest, may form a great vortex in the atmosphere that swirls the red-hued dye up through the cloud cover, thus creating Jupiter's distinctive red spot...
