Glory to God in outer space and peace to men of the good blue planet...
...Very interesting. A billion dollars for Project Cyclops to listen for messages from outer space? When we come off the neon merry-go-round of Mars and Jupiter missions, the problem-plagued home base Earth might look a little dull in comparison, but it will still be here, and it is all we've got. If beings from outer space exist, let's let them come to us, and start cleaning up our own little speck of space while we wait. We do want to be here when they arrive...
Taking its TV eyes off the planet for a while, Mariner demonstrated its versatility-and the skill of its terrestrial controllers-by spotting and photographing the outer Martian moonlet, Deimos, from a distance of more than 5,000 miles. Deimos, a tiny chunk of debris only 5½ miles by 7 miles, seemed to be flattened in its northwest quadant, appearing to one JPL observer "like half an apple with a bite taken out of it." It also had unexplained light splotches and other surface features that may show up more clearly when JPL technicians use computers to enhance...
Mariner's cameras have another assignment: photographing the tiny Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos. In fact, before last week's rendezvous they managed to catch 19 long shots of the outer moon, Deimos, and two of Phobos. In the course of the mission, scientists hope for much closer shots that will actually show surface features of these tiny bodies, which are so small (only a lew miles in diameter) that they appear as mere dots in earthbound telescopes. Closeup photographs of Phobos and Deimos (named after the sons of Mars, the Roman god of war) could finally...

Two years ago, Beverly was approached with flattering offers by a top-ranking New York manager?the same manager who, a decade earlier, had kept her cooling her heels in his outer office for 2½ hours before telling her he could not use her. Now Beverly cut him off with one clean stroke. "I'm not interested in working with anybody." she said, "who keeps a singer waiting 2½ hours...
