...other three instruments were anything but idle. Radioing data constantly, ALSEP's magnetometer indicated that the moon's magnetic field-which could offer important clues to the lunar interior-may be considerably stronger than had been believed. Palmer Dyal, one of the magnetometer experimenters, had an esoteric, but speculative explanation: after a period of vulcanism, the moon cooled more rapidly than scientists had heretofore thought, thus preserving a larger portion of its primordial magnetic field...
Although these bell-like reverberations were unlike any seismic event on earth, Columbia University Geophysicist Gary Latham offered a plausible explanation. The effect may have been caused, he said, by a layer of rubble or fractured rock sandwiched between bedrock in the floor of the Ocean of Storms and a solid cover of fine material deposits above. Lacking dampening fluids or gases, the layer of rubble may have acted as an echo chamber in which the seismic waves reverberated. If so, the next big seismic event on the moon should be a scientific spectacular; the third-stage rocket of Apollo...
Bigger than Japan. Political union is plainly a long way off, if attainable at all, but what of a closer economic union? The Soviet threat has been largely replaced by the American economic challenge, and Europe's economy may one day face eclipse unless it works out some response. The most logical response would be a vigorous, creative economic union that really did look beyond the narrow interests of French farmers and Walloon miners. Such a union, with Britain added to the present Six, would mean a Common Market of nearly 240 million people. Japan has managed to become...
...Americans, similarly, are worried about how much influence the Soviet military may have on the Russian delegation. While the U.S. has only five officers on its 24-man team, the 24-man Soviet team includes five generals, two colonels and one admiral...
Some Western specialists observed that the implied threat of exile may be a form of blackmail. They believe that Soviet authorities are playing on the only thing that Solzhenitsyn fears-expulsion from his beloved country-in the hope of finally silencing him. "All my life is here," Solzhenitsyn has said, "the homeland-I listen only to its sadness. I write only about...
