Hammond considers Brown's 6-1 win last year a fluke, and he will lead 11 playres intent on proving that theory today. Leadership, however, is a hard task for the goalie from Madison, Wisc., even though his ability and personality give him the attributes of an ideal captain...
...Enemy: Bureaucracy. True to its ideal of detachment, the Voice avoids the excesses of partisan politics. Though it supported the Democratic reform movement in its battle to overthrow Tammany Chieftain Carmine De Sapio, it has derided the reformers for their self-righteousness. It backed John Lindsay for mayor, but does not hesitate to criticize his "waspishness."

Lunar Bombardment. Writing in Nature, Physicist Kuan-Han Sun suggests that a combination of the solar wind, meteorites, and lunar temperature changes provide ideal conditions for thermoluminescence-the release of stored-up energy in the form of visible light during a rapid temperature rise. Like other bodies in the solar system, Sun points out, the moon is constantly bombarded by a solar wind consisting of charged, low-energy particles boiled off the solar surface and "blown" into space. Because these particles, which are mostly protons, follow magnetic lines of force, they can strike the moon from all directions, hitting...
