...done by the nine Japanese reporters based in Peking. There are always more fresh posters each morning than all of them together can track down in a single day, and Peking's frigid winter is not conducive to street-corner translating. Result: some of the Japanese now photograph promising posters with their Polaroid cameras, then return to the warmth of their offices to translate them. Curious to see the mysterious poster warriors at work, one Japanese correspondent prowled Peking with a flashlight night after night. Although he was very diligent and although the posters were invariably new and fresh...
...Very Damn Rude." The portrait arrived back at the Hurd ranch-c.o.d. Nevertheless, Mrs. Johnson persuaded Hurd to try a smaller portrait, 30 in. by 36 in., based on the President's favorite photograph. The picture was taking shape when, to Hurd's dismay, he discovered that "that photograph was in every little bureaucrat's office in America-including the post office in San Patricio. I couldn't plainly copy such a picture. I lost interest." However, he finished the large portrait and shipped it off to Washington. Several months later he got a letter...
...Carlo casinos, her nude swims in the Mediterranean, her dietetic secrets (one meal a day, fortified with a pre-bed glass of milk mixed with ten drops of iodine). Roads, perfumes, sundaes were named after her, and if a suitor was lacking, she was not above dredging up a photograph of some deceased Hindu prince and releasing it to the press as her latest marital prospect...
Stupendous Collision. To University of Arizona Astronomer Gerard Kuiper, one of the world's leading lunar experts, Orbiter's photograph seemed to confirm his theory that the 1,000-ft.-high mountains in the center of Copernicus were partially formed by volcanic activity. Scattered over their slopes, he says, are humps similar to the cinder cones found on major terrestrial volcanoes. The picture also clearly shows that the floor of the crater is remarkably flat. To Kuiper, this indicates that the subsurface was once in a fluid or plastic state, and that it solidified, causing the crater floor...
Ironically, Orbiter's shot of Copernicus was merely a byproduct of its assignment to photograph 13 possible lunar landing sites for astronauts. Of the 211 photographs it has taken while orbiting the moon, Copernicus and twelve others were shot for "housekeeping"-to advance the roll of film and keep the camera in working order during long intervals when Orbiter was not over one of the possible landing sites. Though NASA did not release any of the other housekeeping shots by week's end, an astronomer who was allowed to see them reported that those taken while the satellite...
