...Finding Life on Mars The proximity of Mars to Earth [NOTEBOOK, Sept. 1] once again raised the question of whether there is life on the Red Planet. When the Soviet Union launched an unmanned probe to scout the Martian skies [July 18, 1988], we took the opportunity to remind readers that years ago, earlier space experts, including astronomer Carl Sagan, predicted that finding evidence of civilized life on Mars might be far more daunting than anyone had expected...

The special edition comes with snap-on legs and a set of crockery - perhaps the book's best inside joke - and it is crammed with photographs that remind you what a uniquely funny (and extremely silly) team they were. Terry Gilliam's graphics and stills of his sets and costumes remind you that Monty Python's Holy Grail and Life of Brian were two of the funniest films of modern times. But did their humor really have...
