...have been attractive, the make-up has not been consistently good. Occasional inside pages present the unrelieved gray of long banks of type, without pictures, charts, or anything else to encourage the reader. When the National Observer uses pictures, it uses them well; the page-long photograph of the Saturn rocket on the front of the first issue is striking, as is a huge shot of the Matterhorn in the second. But there still remain long stretches of unbroken type, which simply will not be read...
...paper had a clean, uncluttered look (six columns to the page instead of the customary eight), and it was certainly easy to carry home (8 oz. v. the 4 Ib. 2 oz. of the New York Times). The pictures were played for dramatic effect: a blast-off shot of Saturn, the U.S.'s largest rocket, soared majestically the length of the page; a glowering portrait of Brigadier General William B. Rosson, the U.S. Army's guerrilla warfare expert, was brutally cropped to eliminate part of the general's brow, all of his hair and his left...
...years. Stone Age man noticed that the height of the sun's daily passage controlled the seasons and therefore man's food supply. He realized that the moon had an influence on the tides.

So many people try to read...
...moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and a supposedly invisibly body called Khetu moved into a position within 16 degrees of each other at 7:05 a.m. Saturday. Although some people born under the sign of Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) have interpreted the phenomena as a personal threat, Saturday's Boston Globe Star Gazer would only reveal that the day was "beneficial to domestic settlements and intimate affairs," for Aquaril...
Into Conjunction. In Hindu astrology there are nine planets: Saturn, Mars. Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, the sun, the moon, and the moon in its ascending and descending nodes. In their orbital paths, two or more of the planets occasionally conjoin, meaning that an imaginary line from earth into space would intersect them. But rarely are five planets conjoined; and a conjunction of five planets and the sun (which will simultaneously be eclipsed by the moon) will take place at 5:47 p.m. Indian time on Feb. 3 (7:17 a.m. E.S.T.). Moreover, astrologers note that this zodiacal rarity will happen...
