For 23 days, the antennas swept different quadrants of the skies; periodically they were reversed to reduce the risk of built-in electronic error.

Some cases are so mild that they pass unnoticed, yet all apparently confer lifelong immunity. Unlike mumps and common measles, rubella seldom evokes severe ill ness in the 20% of people who escape it in childhood and catch it as adults...
