In their understandable haste to obtain geological data before the bidding began, some of the oil companies scarred the tundra with seismic ditches that look from above like giant graffiti and littered it with garbage and empty barrels. Once full-scale exploitation of oil begins, the effects on the North Slope could become disastrous...
...weeks after the Mariner pictures were transmitted, scientists at Pasadena's Jet Propulsion Laboratory were also getting a far clearer look at the red planet itself. In the first fast playback of the 200 TV images radioed by the two probes, they saw a very rough and lunar-like surface. But after considerable electronic enhancement of the pictures, a slow process that increases contrasts and eliminates random "noise" in the radio signals, the scientists have now produced a portfolio of photographs that show three distinctly different types of Martian topography. Besides cratered regions, there are huge, flat, featureless areas...

In his final testament, Ho described how "deeply I am grieved at the dissensions that are dividing the fraternal parties." Few parties have been less fraternal lately than the Chinese and the Russian, yet both, for their own reasons, responded to Ho's plea for unity. Though the conference at Peking Airport appeared to leave intact the deep ideological chasm...
