...Map of 1967. Whether either side was yet ready for that sort of agreement was doubtful indeed. Feeling the economic squeeze of his losses of $750,000 in tolls each day that the Suez Canal remains closed, Nasser has, to be sure, been talking more moderately. He has suggested that he might be ready to bring the Yemen war to an end, and he has hinted that he would like to restore diplomatic ties with the U.S. But to accept Israel as Tito proposed still seems to be too bitter a pill for defeated Arabs to swallow. Obviously even Tito...
...withdrawal from the "new territories" Israel now holds. "There is no going back to the 1948 borders," said Dayan. "We must not allow other countries acting in their own interests to force us to return to the old situation. We need to consider the reality of 1967 and the map...
...African regions are divided neatly by a boundary running northeast through Ghana, Togo, Dahomey, Upper Volta, Niger, Mali, and into Algeria (see map). To the east of the boundary lies the Pan-African region, dated as 550 million years old. West of it is the 2-billion-year-old Eburnean area. According to Bullard, if the South American bulge had once fitted under the bulge of Africa, the continuance of the delineation between the two rock regions would be found running southwest through Brazil from a point near the city of Sao Luis 2,070 miles north...
...recent evidence is the finding that the ocean floor is patterned with belts of rock magnetized in opposite directions. Recent studies indicate that the earth's magnetic field has reversed at least nine times in the past 3,600,000 years. Thus the belts provide a dependable time map that shows the effects of the reversing magnetic fields of the earth as the ocean floor expanded. This study also shows that the ocean floor is spreading at about the rate of two centimeters a year-which would just about account for the present distance between the continents if they...
...moon is visible. Terrestrial gravity has locked onto the moon's near side, which always faces the earth. Some scientists have theorized that the hidden side bore many more craters and pockmarks than the visible face. That concept was first shaken by Lunar Orbiter 4, which mapped some 60% of the far side. Last week, Lunar Orbiter 5 knocked the notion completely into a cocked hat while completing the map...
