...Efficient air conditioners found in late-model cars can save gas since, at speeds of 40 m.p.h. or more, the wind drag from open windows burns more fuel than does the cooling...

The breathless tip proved phony, of course, as do all 300 or so reports on Crater's whereabouts that the police receive each year...
DIED. Jean Seberg, 40, American movie actress; in Paris. Police found her body and an empty bottle of barbiturates in her car after she had been missing for nine days.

Finally, the Pioneer scientists shamefacedly confessed that they had found in their recordings some Titan temperature data that were partially garbled - not because of satellite signals but because of interference from solar storms and communications problems between a tracking antenna in Spam and the Ames control center. Still, enough information was retrieved to confirm that the temperature at Titan's cloud tops was a frigid -200° C (-328° F). That seemed to rule out surface temperatures warm enough to allow the formation of amino acids, the building blocks of life. But scientists were withholding final judgment until...
