Urey suggests that lunar water had a terrestrial origin. If the moon was torn from the earth, he says, it would have carried off substantial amounts of water. Or if, as Urey believes, the moon was a planetary interloper captured by the earth, its gravity would have attracted terrestrial water as well as solid matter during the cataclysmic events caused by its close approach to the earth...

Slob, Humbug & Jealousy. Volcanic in origin, the islands are a myriad of forms and sizes ranging from a barren cay to agricultural St. Croix, which is 26 miles long and up to six miles wide.

Before Darwin, scientists generally agreed that all species of life had existed since creation and would continue unchanged to the end of the world. After Darwin theorized on the origin of species in 1859 it was soon acknowledged that new species do evolve from older ones in a gradual process. Possible beginnings of new species have since been recognized, catalogued and thoroughly investigated, but geneticists still remain ignorant of just what mechanisms trigger them. Now there is hope that a new thread of inquiry might begin to unravel the mystery. A new species appears to be developing in a laboratory...
MORE OF THE MONKEES (Colgem). Purists may object to the fact that the Monkees were hand-picked and trained to make money instead of deciding how to do it themselves. But the younger rock 'n' roll fans care nothing for the origin of the species. They have bought the second Monkee LP even faster than the first. It is all there: the early-Beatle beat and the simplistic lyrics ("I promise you the sun is going to shine again"). I'm a Believer is the hit of the disk...
