...lunar "seas" or flat dark areas are part of the moon's original structure or were formed by the impact of gigantic meteorites. If these lunar basins were formed by the impact of meteorites, Masursky and other scientists believe, their periphery should be littered by debris tossed outward by the collision. Orbiter pictures of the 300-mile-wide Sea of Rains show that the hummocklike structures visible through telescopes on its northern rim are indeed debris...
...time," because he "struggles with sex, submits to violence, and is tormented by the metaphysical anxiety of death." The thesis might be more persuasive if Bomarzo were a less odd and cringing figure, and if the unremitting bleakness of his psychological life were set off against a more robust outward existence. But there can be no doubt that Ginastera has powerfully achieved his effects, combining orchestral wizardry and forceful vocal writing to carve out the contours of jarringly dramatic emotion.

Japan's new Overseas Youth Volunteers are Asia's first Peace Corpsmen, and though they so far number fewer than 100, they represent another indicator of Sato's outward thrust. Stationed from Southeast Asia to East Africa, they are skilled in auto repair and agriculture, nursing and nutrition, use their spare time to teach such Japanese native skills as origami and karate. Despite their Asian eyes and skin color, the Japanese Peace Corpsmen find it as challenging to relate to underdeveloped Asia as do their round-eyed American counterparts. For all their own appetite for sashimi...
