...organisms. But if the ancient origin of the bacteria is finally established, it will have great implications for scientists searching for life on Mars. Even if the Viking Landers, which are scheduled to visit Mars in 1976, find no evidence of life on the planet's dry and frigid terrain, the Antarctic discovery holds out hope that living organisms-perhaps dormant-might still exist beneath the Martian surface...
...film, not reproduce them. Of course, things are added as well as suggested, or else there'd be no reason not to just set up a screen and show the film on it. There's the enthusiasm and freshness of the cast, for instance, to replace the sometimes frigid tinsel of the movie, and most of all, fresh music.

This may be one of those questions of literary history--such as how many children Lady Macbeth had or how long it took Douglas Bush to memorize Paradise Lost--that we may never care to solve. But a lot of people...
