Rille's Origin. Besides revealing much about the moon, the core may provide an intriguing record of the activities of the sun. Has it suddenly flared up during the past few billion years? Have its fires ever diminished? By studying the microscopic tracks left by the bombardment of cosmic rays in each layer of the core, and by looking for traces of an element like argon-which is blown from the sun to the moon in the stream of particles known as the solar wind-scientists may eventually get their answers...
After returning to the rover, Astronauts Scott and Irwin drove to Hadley Rille, a long, winding, 1,200-ft.-deep canyon whose origin has long been the subject of scientific debate. While the rover's remote-controlled TV camera followed them with its big-brotherly eye, the astronauts walked slowly down the rille's gently sloping near side. On the almost vertical far wall, they spotted at least two major layers of material. Even more interesting to the scientists in Houston was the astronauts' report that the second major layer contained at least ten subordinate layers...
...dark Bengalis are more closely related to the Dravidian people they subjugated. The Westerners, who eat wheat and meat, speak Urdu, which is written in Arabic but is a synthesis of Persian and Hindi. The Easterners eat rice and fish, and speak Bengali, a singsong language of Indo-Aryan origin...
...tantalizing sampling of four major types of lunar features: a mare (or lunar sea of once molten lava), an alpine range called the Apennines, a deep, snaking rille or gorge and a variety of puzzling smaller mounds and craters. Scientists hope to recover fragments of the moon's original crust. The landscape could supply scientists with new clues to the origin of the moon and to the birth of the solar system itself...
...that both peoples can live under the joy of independence and can devote themselves to building a society based on human equality and respect for the earth. In rejecting the war we also reject all forms of racism and discrimination against people based on color, class, sex, national origin and ethnic grouping which form a basis of the war policies, present and past, of the United States...
