...Sagan, it is scientifically possible for Mars to harbor "macro-organisms" the size of polar bears, who crunch rocks for water, sport silicon skins to protect themselves against deadly sunburn, and hibernate for thousands of years at a stretch. Sagan also contemplates astro-engineered civilizations so far advanced that their accomplishments would seem to us "indistinguishable from magic." He can easily imagine intergalactic, rapid-transit routes where "an object that plunges down a rotating black hole may re-emerge elsewhere and elsewhen-in another place and another time...
...generally attack different and sharply defined areas of the body. Doctors believe that nearly everybody carries the herpes simplex virus somewhere in his body, probably in nerve tissue. In most people this virus remains dormant. But in some it becomes active, usually during a cold or fever, after a sunburn or as a result of nervous tension. The result is usually cold sores or fever blisters, unpleasant but rarely harmful eruptions that often recur at the same place on the lips or below the nose...

Even on the beach, girls are likely to feel the need of protection from sunburn, windburn, sandstorms and stares. To cope with the problem, some suits, called "stripper-dippers," come in three pieces-bra, pants and a removable midsection. Other cover-ups range from elongated sweaters that reach mid-calf (elsewhere called dresses) to Donald Brooks's coolie shirts, which just cover the suit at the hip line. Some of the most elegant are the ankle...
