In an effort to make such places interesting, since they were already necessary, grafitti were invented. There, in a cold, impersonal chrome-and-steel world is one man's mark upon the wall, a blow against the empire: JUAN LOVES MARIA, forever and ever...
Because LAGEOS is expected to remain in orbit for so long, NASA has placed aboard it two stainless-steel sheets, each etched with a message conceived by Astrophysicist Carl Sagan of Cornell University. Designed to inform extraterrestrial visitors or future inhabitants of the earth about the LAGEOS mission, the message shows three maps of the earth, depicting the continental drift that the satellite will help observe. The uppermost of the maps shows the continents as they are thought to have existed 225 million years ago, when Africa and South America were joined. The middle map is a picture...

But even they should do better later this year, when spending is expected to pick...
...striking it rich and becoming a global power almost overnight. Can it be done? Iran would seem to have a chance if any nation does. Using its vast oil revenues, the country is well into a bold $70 billion, six and a half year development program. New industries, notably steel, autos and synthetic fibers, helped Iran to boost gross national product to a record $54 billion last year (from $26 billion in 1973) and raise per capita income to a healthy $1,570 (from $806); just about any adult in the population of 36 million can find...
