...that newspapers and newsmagazines have given Kennedy fair treatment; seven to one they say television has. The approbation is qualified however: fewer than one out of three will go so far as to say the media in general have been "very fair" in their Kennedy coverage. Not surprisingly, Harris found that the groups that generally support Kennedy -youth, Easterners, blacks and women -are more critical of the press; those who do not-the elderly, Midwesterners and Southerners, whites and men-tend to be more approving of the coverage...
...addition to the argon that resulted from potassium decay, Schaeffer found an abundance of solar argon-and of helium and neon-that has collected during eons of bombardment by the sun. These particles were lodged only in the surface of the rocks, where they had remained undisturbed for hundreds of millions of years-more evidence that the moon's exterior has not undergone any recent upheavals...
Urey himself believes that if the moon does indeed prove to be "cold," its virtually intact primordial surface may provide not only important clues about the moon's beginnings but also about the origin of the solar system. The most ancient rocks found on earth are 3.3 billion years old, or more than a billion years younger than the planet itself, and the moon rocks from the Sea of Tranquillity are about the same age. Nonetheless, Urey and other cold-moon proponents think that when men reach the lunar highlands, which are generally considered to be older than...
...several years, Bell scientists have been experimenting with thin wafers of crystalline materials known as orthoferrites, which are compounds of iron oxides and such rare-earth minerals as ytterbium, thulium and samarium-terbium. They found that when a strong enough magnetic field is applied, orthoferrites display an extraordinary property: tiny cylinder-shaped areas, or "bubbles," of magnetism are formed in the wafer, their polarity opposite to that of the surrounding material. Often smaller in diameter than a human hair, the magnetic bubbles can be maneuvered and positioned into an almost endless variety of patterns...
...reputation. In one horrendous doubleheader in Houston, the Astros pasted Met pitchers for a total of 27 runs. The Mets lost 3-2 to the last-place Expos when Rookie Gary Gentry yielded an embarrassing total of three home runs in one inning. As summer waned, the New Yorkers found themselves in third place, 9½ games off the pace...
