...life-and found the Chicanos strikingly similar in mood and plaint to their French-Canadian cousins in Quebec. Sandra Burton observed the importation of "green-card" nonunion workers from Mexico and covered the climax of a 100-mile march between El Centro and Calexico, in which, she reports, the heat hit 120° and blisters "were like merit badges." At the end, when Union Leader Cesar Chavez began to speak, she thought that she had obtained a perfect worm's-eye view amid the swarming crowd by squirming under the flatbed truck that served as a podium-until Texas...
...over the rents and conditions at two labor camps, built in the late 1930s and intended to be used for only a few years. The camps were a hideous collection of 9-ft. by 11-ft. tin shacks, boiling in the summer sun and lacking both indoor plumbing and heat for the chill nights. Tulare officials subsequently built modern accommodations...

Rod Steiger, 44, burly, Academy Award-winning master of a hundred faces (The Pawnbroker, In the Heat of the Night, No Way to Treat a Lady); by Claire Bloom, 37, the wistful ballerina in Charlie Chaplin's 1952 film Limelight, and veteran Shakespearean actress; on grounds of incompatibility; after nine years of marriage, one child; in Juarez, Mexico...
Thick and Thin. First, researchers must answer a basic question: how is pain felt? As long ago as 1826, Johannes Peter Müller promulgated the "law of specific nerve energies." He suggested that stimulation of specific pain receptors in the skin, like those for heat or pressure, sends impulses along specific nerve fibers to equally specific parts of the spinal cord and brain. This concept has since been called the "direct telephone-line system." The latest research shows that the system is by no means so simple as direct dialing. It is full of crossovers and redundancies, creating...
Others are more concerned. Although he agrees that organisms might survive a moon fragment's entry into the earth's atmosphere, Cornell Exobiologist Carl Sagan is less confident that they could live through the heat generated by a meteor impact on the moon. For that reason he has doubts that lunar organisms have ever reached the earth and that terrestrial life has already proved its immunity. Sagan, like most other scientists, believes that the odds are high against life existing on the moon. But he cautions that there is "an exceedingly small risk of possibly great harm...
