Helicopters equipped with infra-red sighting which were designed for use in Vietnam have already been used in domestic police work, Fink said, and one Pentagon associate has suggested the use of electronic signal bracelets and tracking equipment to watch over released convicts, parolees and prisoners on bail...
That any Martian creatures, turtle-like or otherwise, will be discovered during the current Mars missions seems highly unlikely. Mariner 9, mapping the planet with its twin TV cameras and using ultraviolet and infra-red sensors to probe the surface and the atmosphere, will never come close enough in its far-ranging 860-mile by 10,600-mile orbit to photograph any life forms. Although the Russians have announced that their Mars 2 lander carried a Soviet pennant to the Martian surface, they have been silent about the performance of any life detectors or other instruments it might have carried...

As pictures of the dust-obscured Martian surface began reaching earth, delighted mission controllers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. Calif., reported that Mariner's twin TV cameras and ultraviolet and infra-red sensors were all performing flawlessly...
...giant, twelve-ton spacecraft capable of working aloft for at least several months, the Big Bird combines the capabilities of several earlier satellites. It can transmit high-quality pictures by radio, and eject capsules of exposed film which then drop by parachute. The Big Bird also includes infra-red heat-sensing equipment that allows it to "see" through Siberian ice and snow to locate Soviet underground weapons. The heaviest concentration of long-range Russian missiles, Klass reports, is behind the Urals in Central Asia and in Siberia...

By week's end two more corpses had been found near the banks of the Feather River; the total stood at 25. The only suspect in the case, Juan Corona, 37, a taciturn farm-labor contractor, was arraigned in Sutler County Courthouse and charged with ten counts of murder (he will be charged with more when the remaining bodies are identified). He remained calm...
