Nonetheless, Mariner 9 has already added important new findings to man's knowledge of Mars. Near the south pole, one of the few areas where Mariner's cameras have been able to peer through the huge dust storm that still obscures much of the planet, the surface is also remarkably smooth, leading some scientists to theorize that the region was scoured clean by glaciers as the polar cap grew during Martian winters and then receded again. If glaciers were indeed responsible, their presence would indicate that there is more water in the polar cap (which is composed largely of frozen...
...just another pleasant suburb. Big pines and oaks line the cobblestoned streets. The tile-roofed, many-gabled single-family houses have roughcast beige exteriors, carefully tended gardens and little fences around every yard.

...field within the walls; in the fall, like other Japanese farmers, the Emperor harvests his rice. The Emperor's favorite pastime, pursued since childhood, is the study of marine biology. He spends two afternoons a week in his laboratory. On his periodic field trips he is so impatient to peer into the dredges to see what they have brought up from the sea bottom that he sometimes bumps heads with his fellow scientists. Occasionally Hirohito reaches into a dredge and gets nipped by a crab...
...this test is its translability and exportability. Because it relies on bits of arbitrary, specific information, it's not culturebound. Historically, the test could go from France to Belgium to Portugal to England. Because of this, the child is being measured, effectively, with all of Western society, his own peer group...
