...earth. The 200-mile-long and 10-mile-wide canyon extends from the edge of a large and still unnamed crater, and was created, Masursky believes, by the impact of the same meteorite that formed the crater. The spacecraft may also have helped determine if the lunar "seas" or flat dark areas are part of the moon's original structure or were formed by the impact of gigantic meteorites. If these lunar basins were formed by the impact of meteorites, Masursky and other scientists believe, their periphery should be littered by debris tossed outward by the collision. Orbiter pictures...
...portrays Queen, in an orange cotton dress, being led by a strong Bridget in a silk plaid skirt and a brown wool jacket, to a gold metallic gate of Heaven with a welcoming Christ within. It may also be prophetic, for Queen has become too crippled to lie flat. When she tries to doze sitting up, she is constantly awakened by spasms of pain. Since doctors were of no avail to her in her youth, she sees no reason to turn to them now, refuses all medication. Still, she plans to sew more pictures of her interpretations of the Bible...

Brown moved his men soundlessly across the clearing and set up a radial defense-each man flat on his back, head to the center of the circle, his M-16 ready-behind a tangle of fallen trees...

The bitter protests over the destruction of Gilman House two years ago, last year's furor over the flat room and board rates, and the recently concluded hunger strike are indications that Cliffies want an option to the restrictive dormitory living Mrs. Bunting would like to see effected throughout Radcliffe...
...include the expected in civil engineering: the design of 20-story buildings at M.I.T., where, before the computer, students labored over plans for two-story structures. A music student at Carnegie Tech composed a musical score by computer; after its performance by a chamber-music society, critics called it "flat but interesting." Art students at Harvard create modern abstractions by using a computer to scan a conventional scene, then program it to delete parts of the picture. Two M.I.T. political science students fed 300 variables from two dozen small wars into computers to predict the outcome of the Viet...
