...DEREK BOSHIER, 27, invents jazzily colored bewilderments that he calls "geo-art." Portsmouth-born Boshier was baffled by math in school, but found in art a personal arithmetic. His colors are rainbow, his brushwork invisible, his imagery a camouflage that creates the illusion of depth while flatly defying the painting's artificial edge. A modest but highly confident chap, Boshier says: "All the images I use have very much to do with presentation, the idea of projection-rather like the phrase '20th Century-Fox presents' in the movies. These images come from a social condition or setup...
...more big expeditions in mind, says William Unsoeld, 36, a Peace Corps official and one of the five U.S. climbers who scaled Mount Everest last month. Unsoeld and National Geo graphic Photographer Barry Bishop, 30, had to be carried pickaback from a base camp to Namche Bazar, where a helicopter hustled them to the United Mission Hospital at Katmandu. Now recovered from respiratory infections, both men are still under treatment for severe cases of frostbite-with doctors hoping that only the tips of their toes may have to be amputated. And was their victory Pyrrhic? "An experience like Everest," says...

...term now used for detection and inspection). On the larger question of what the experts call"G. & C" (general and complete disarmament), the U.S.'s Dean Rusk suggested an intriguing scheme designed to soften Russian fear of inspection "espionage." It was similar to the plan of random geo graphical samplings proposed by Harvard University's International Law Professor Louis B. Sohn. Under the "Sohn Zone" system, each country would be divided into a number of areas; once the nuclear nations had reported their total number of weapons in each area, an international disarmament organization would choose a zone...
After Professor Shklovsky and his team of astrophysicists analyzed the data, they concluded that the earth has a "geo-corona" of very thin ionized gas that extends out about 14,000 miles. Beyond 15,000 miles the Russians found no measurable ions, and Shklovsky believes that true interplanetary space has little or no resident gas. One possibility is that the streams of high-energy particles that shoot out of the sun (and probably cause the earth's Van Allen radiation belt) sweep the solar system clean of any gas that leaks into...
