...three years before the socialist revolution hit Portugal, three women in Lisbon were planting the seeds of a feminist revolution. Meeting twice weekly, they were sharing and recording their innermost feelings--the kinds of feelings that women, and particularly women in Latin countries, have been taught to keep innermost. When these feelings became public in the form of a book called New Portuguese Letters in 1972, the authors were immediately arrested on charges of "abuse of freedom of the press" and "outrage to public decency." The trial dragged on and on until finally, in April 1974, the three Marias...
...tiny craft had been in space for 16 months and was nearly out of steering fuel. Yet flight controllers at Pasadena's Jet Propulsion Laboratory last week managed to keep Mariner 10 alive and performing well through its third -and closest-encounter with the solar system's innermost planet. As it passed only 200 miles above Mercury's scorched surface, the half-ton robot swooped over the planet's north polar region, sent back some 300 closeup pictures and confirmed a puzzling fact-that Mercury has an innate magnetic field
Kamikaze Mission. Pioneer ll's longevity will be threatened in September 1979, when it swoops between Saturn and the innermost of its three rings on what Wolfe admits could be a "kamikaze mission." The spacecraft could be knocked out of action in a collision with a chunk of the ring's icy debris, some of which may be up to half a mile across. Otherwise, it will pass as close as 1,850 miles from Saturn's cloud tops (compared with 26,725 miles from Jupiter's). It will then be whipped around Saturn...
...Pioneer 11's electronic gear survives, it should produce a bonanza of data: 22 closeup color pictures of Jupiter, including the first of its polar regions; new studies of the planet's temperature, radiation levels and magnetic field; and the first measurements of Amalthea, smallest and innermost of Jupiter's 13 known moons.* Space Pioneer. No one is watching Pioneer 11's travels with more interest than another pioneer, Physicist James Van Allen, who scored the first triumph of American space science by discovering the radiation belts around the earth that now bear his name (TIME...
