This part of the Pulitzer collection, acquired since 1958, does include contemporary artists, but the choice excels more in the older 20th century masters than in the young of the 60's. For example, Ernest Trova's images of falling men--symbolic protruding bellies on smooth, molded gold forms--are pleasing rhythmically but do little to encourage the viewer's further exploration. In contrast to Trova's rather redundant imagery, are such masterpieces as Picasso's Cubist Portrait of Wilhem Uhde, Miro's playful, surrealistic compositions, Giacommetti's unique delineation of space in portraits, and the Russian, Naum Gabo...
...Mariner 9 has already added important new findings to man's knowledge of Mars. Near the south pole, one of the few areas where Mariner's cameras have been able to peer through the huge dust storm that still obscures much of the planet, the surface is also remarkably smooth, leading some scientists to theorize that the region was scoured clean by glaciers as the polar cap grew during Martian winters and then receded again. If glaciers were indeed responsible, their presence would indicate that there is more water in the polar cap (which is composed largely of frozen carbon...
...before Phase II clocked in on Nov. 14, President Nixon allowed that he expected a "bulge" in prices during its first days. The opening decisions of the Pay Board and Price Commission make disturbingly clear that Phase II already consists of a good many more bulges and bumps than smooth roads...
...been marked by long, frost-covered ridge lines and craters during the flybys of Mariners 6 and 7 in 1969. To the surprise of scientists, the pictures showed that the ridge lines were no longer covered by frost, many craters had vanished entirely, and the surface was remarkably smooth. Said Astronomer Bradford Smith: "This whole area looks like it's been planed off." Some scientists speculated that the most logical explanation for the change was that the surface had been scoured by glaciers as the polar cap grew during Martian winters and then receded again...
