High on a New Jersey hilltop, overlooking colonial steeples and the Delaware River, music fills the clear air six nights a week. It rises from a huge, floodlit, green and yellow tent, home of Lambertville's Music Circus. Under the big top (where there is room for 1,500) the attractions are Broadway shows (with good second-string casts) such as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Call Me Madam, and such vintage operettas as Sweethearts, New Moon and Die Fledermaus.

Warm-blooded "little men from Mars," therefore, will probably never try to invade New Jersey. But Martian plant life (e.g., mosses and lichens that can manufacture their own oxygen) is entirely possible.
