TIME brings changes, but to change the site of the Battle of Hastings to Flodden Field [July 5] is a bit too much...
...home yet." Assuming that the bus had broken down, Tatom sent people out to check the route. They found nothing, and Tatom, now thoroughly concerned, called police. Not until 7:30 did a local pilot sight the bus, hidden in the slough. Police sped to the site and found the bus deserted; the only real clues were two extra sets of tire tread marks near by. Concern turned to alarm...
...constituted a threat to the health of nearby communities; it held that the plant could be ordered closed if the state and the company did not agree on an acceptable alternative. Reserve, which is jointly owned by Republic Steel and Armco Steel, said that it could develop a dumping site at a location three miles from Silver Bay. But the state's Pollution Control Agency argued that this site, which involved the construction of a dam, also posed risks to Silver Bay. It rejected the site and recommended a location 13 miles further from the plant. The company said...
...Arecibo, Puerto Rico, quickly dispelled that notion. The radar data indicated that the landscape was littered with boulders ranging from 3 ft. to 15 ft. in diameter. Despite pressure from biologists anxious to begin Viking's life-seeking experiments, Martin decided that the risks at the second site were too great for the 1,270-lb., three-legged lander; to lose it on landing would leave the billion-dollar Viking mission totally dependent on Viking...
After ruling this site out, the scientists turned to a third site some 900 miles west-northwest of the original target area. Preliminary radar data suggested that the new landing zone is smoother than the other two, but Viking scientists wanted detailed photographs of the area before making a final decision. To get them, controllers at J.P.L. last week "tweaked" Viking's thrusters to bring the periapsis (low point) of its orbit directly over the new landing site. If the photographs confirm that Chryse Planitia is relatively smooth, Viking will land on July...
