...emotion was understandable. That printout tape, with its endless rows of digits, told the men who could read it that Mariner seemed to be obeying the intricate orders built into it so many months before. According to plan, shortly after the scanning mechanisms sighted the planet, automatically activating the photo system, the six-inch vidicon tube focused through a reflecting telescope and took its first picture. It was programmed to take one picture every 48 seconds. Each picture was made up of 200 lines-compared with 525 lines on commercial TV screens. And each line was made...

Written in incidental French camp style, The Jews reads a lot like the phone book: great cast of characters but not much plot. Such as it is, the story concerns the engagement of a beautiful Gentile and a wealthy young baron named Saül de Goldschild.

...neck, in a desert mound. She lives in a world people only by herself, her husband Willie, and her "things" -- a shopping bag full of knicknacks, and a parasol. With only Willie and the things as a points of reference, Winnie fills up her days, "happy days," with endless chatter and conscientious dips into...
