BLUE PLANET. Astronaut's-eye views of earth, filmed during five space-shuttle missions. From the wind-sculpted dunes of the Namib Desert to smogbound Los Angeles, the images underscore the urgency of saving the environment. Showing at more than two dozen science museums in the U.S. and Canada through the summer...
Pollution from home stoves is nearing crisis proportions In winter, when the mountain air sparkles and snow blankets the nearby hills, Missoula, Mont. (pop. 33,000), might easily be mistaken for an Alpine resort. Last week, however, it had the smogbound look of Los Angeles.

Soon the Research will take up marine research where Carnegie Institute's Carnegie left off in 1929, when she blew up in Apia Harbor, Samoa. Threefold purpose of the Research will be to chart unsounded depths, to study atmospheric electricity, to find out what makes the North Pole attractive to compass needles. A 20th-century anachronism, the Research is a wooden sailing vessel, nonmagnetic in every possible detail. Her hull is of teak; bolts, girders and anchor chain...
