...Tranquillity Base continued to function, recording more than two dozen "seismic events." Some of the tracings seemed remarkably like shocks recorded during quakes on earth. Other signals pointed to the possibility of lunar landslides, set off in crater walls by the dramatic temperature changes that range from a high of 240° F. to a low of -250° at the lunar midnight...
Both probes worked at incredibly high speeds. Once the Martian image was captured by their video equipment, it was rapidly translated into electronic signals of varying intensity representing 64 shades of light and dark. Those impulses, in turn, were beamed to earth in the binary language of the computer. To make one complete picture, the spacecrafts' equipment had to scan 665,208 points of light and dark, each of which was converted into six bits of computer information. That five-minute job involved more than 4,000,000 bits for each picture. The poky equipment on Mariner 4 needed...

After two murder trials, two malpractice lawsuits arising from patients' deaths and last winter's much publicized divorce petition from his second wife, Dr. Sam ranks as a celebrity of sorts. He also claims to have been a pretty fair grappler as a youth, and he reportedly was something of a champion at Ohio Penitentiary...
Since a ward system would give both Negro and Polish voters more representation, the two groups are engaged in clas sic political trading for the benefit of both. Though prejudice remains high, there is now even talk of a joint cultural fair in Detroit, with soul food and Polish sausages...
