...defense line near the Suez Canal. One object of last week's raid, for example, was to provoke Nasser into shifting southward some of the 80,000 men he has along the canal, but he is unlikely to do so. Thus more Israeli attacks can be expected south of Suez. Eventually, the Israelis might also bomb the big industrial center of Helwan, 15 miles south of Cairo, where they could inflict damage to Nasser's economy without hitting population centers.

Last week, after further study of the Mariner data, Pimental reported that his ephemeral clue to the existence of Martian life had proved to be false. What he had read as the characteristic "signatures" of methane and ammonia in spectrographic information gathered near the Martian south pole, he admitted, were actually produced by a thick layer of frozen carbon dioxide, otherwise called diy ice. How did the embarrassing error occur? Only when he checked out the experiment in his laboratory, Pimental explained, did he learn that a thick layer of dry ice could produce spectral characteristics similar to those...
