Three days later, in Hyde Park, the President held a press conference. Never had reporters seen Franklin Roosevelt in such a mood of passive defeatism. Though not knocked out, he appeared definitely stunned by what he had taken.

He discovered that Solis Lacus, a dark spot on Mars as big as the U. S. and located near the Martian south pole, had assumed a shape never before seen, or at least not in the last half-century. This change of shape, reasoned Old Marster Slipher, could be plausibly ascribed to the growth of fresh vegetation...
