...Monsters. Once the first lander was safely down on Martian soil-thereby assuring at least partial success of the $1 billion, eight-year-long Viking project-scientists decided that they could afford to be less cautious with Viking 2, which is approaching Mars and scheduled to go into orbit on Aug. 7. Last week scientists were considering setting the second lander down in a rugged northern region that would be more hazardous for landing than Viking 1's site but potentially more interesting to geologists and biologists...
There was no doubt from the beginning of Rockefeller's career in 1958 as to his final goal. As he himself put it before the '64 campaign, "I'm a politician. That is my profession. Success in politics, real success, means only one thing in America."

Ordinary People is a quite good but thoroughly conventional novel that reads, in fact, like the old-pro product of an intelligent, thoroughly practiced veteran. Ms. Guest's hardly unorthodox subject is a middle-class American family from the Middle West. Make that upper-middle-class: the Jarretts live in Lake Forest, Ill., and father happens to be a tax lawyer. Mother runs a spick-and-span home...
