...city lies wrapped in a frigid cocoon of Arctic night. Beached boats of varying sizes dot the snow-covered ice pack that runs along the shore of the Chukchi Sea. That is the limit of Alaska's North Slope, the last land between America and the North Pole...
...meet began with B.C. sweeping the weight, 35-16. The Crimson did not even qualify a participant. Harvard swept the second event, the pole vault, with Jim Kleiger, Ed Baskauskas, and Dan Berg taking the first three places...
...Crimson is expecting strong performances from Leon Shape in the long jump and triple jump, Jim Kleiger in the pole vault, Rick Melvoin in the quarter mile, and (of course) John Quirk...
...have suggested a number of scenarios for the survival of Martian life. Sagan, for instance, theorizes that Mars may now be experiencing an ice age. As he explains it, the planet's northern hemisphere does not now receive the maximum possible dose of solar radiation because the Martian north pole is tilted toward the sun only when the planet is farthest from it. Yet in about 10,000 to 12,000 years, because of the slow precession of Mars (a wobbling of the planet as it rotates through space), the north pole will be tilted so that it receives more...
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...
