...intermediate car that it is tentatively calling the Chevelle. Buick, Oldsmobile and Pontiac will upgrade their compacts to intermediate size, making many of their parts interchangeable with those of the Chevelle. Ford, on the other hand, is apparently tired of the trend it started: it will drop the intermediate Meteor from its Mercury lineup and give the Fairlane only a minor styling uplift...
Menotti's surrender has been almost too complete. Labyrinth is full of video trickery: there is a gravity-free tea party aboard a rocket, which is halted by the untimely arrival of a meteor; there is an ancient railroad car used as a swimming pool, which, as its water gurgles down a drain to the accompaniment of some electronic movie music, becomes a high-and-dry day coach; and there is a dear old lady who puffs into a cloud of dust as the hero sits down...
Merrihue started his research by cadging a 4-lb. chunk of the stony Bruderheim meteorite that fell in Canada in 1960. He crushed it carefully and separated 14 chondrules from the debris. Then he ground the remainder and purified a sample of meteor material until it was free of chondrule fragments. He heated both samples separately and measured the amount of xenon gas that was driven out of them. The chondrules, he found, contained considerably more xenon 129 than the rest of the meteor...
...will be to land (at 100 m.p.h.) a package of tough instruments on the moon. A temperature-sensing device will report the moon's horribly hot and cold climate over a tiny radio, and a seismometer will feel the ground for moon-quakes or shocks caused by meteor impacts...
FORD, for the first time, will offer Falcon and Comet convertibles. Falcon sedans will take on the Thunderbird's crisp roof line. The intermediate Fairlane and Meteor will add station wagon models and both will change their grilles, the Fairlane from flat to concave and the Meteor to a forward thrust. The standard-size Galaxie will have its massive circular taillights set into cylindrically sculptured rear fenders in a kind of twin jet effect. So that customers can tell a Mercury from a Ford, the Monterey will boast a reverse-sloping rear window that can be opened and shut...
