...ancient origin of the bacteria is finally established, it will have great implications for scientists searching for life on Mars. Even if the Viking Landers, which are scheduled to visit Mars in 1976, find no evidence of life on the planet's dry and frigid terrain, the Antarctic discovery holds out hope that living organisms-perhaps dormant-might still exist beneath the Martian surface...
...book was written by 134 people. Now, I'm not being unduly modest--just explaining what is. What is, I made the book, I mean wrote the book. But the analogy I draw is between myself and a gold prospector. The gold prospector looks for the place, the terrain where there may be something below the surface that is gold. So in 1849 they head off for California, and later on for the Klondike in Alaska, right? Well, I head for certain territory, the territory being that person, whoever he is. He may be interesting, may have some gold...

But Cambridge isn't entirely unfriendly terrain for a pure and healthy country music to grow in, for these musicians are students in the good sense: If there's one thing students can sometimes do it's imitate with a respect for history. And in this case that's exactly what a corrupted genre needs...

The career soldier on leave for a good time travels the circuit of the friendless and the mobile, nowhere to go but the next station or bar or cheap hotel, the most public terrain in the world. Socially he's so ostracized that even going into a private home feels foreign. All he identifies with is his uniform, so much so that if he sees a Marine he fights...
Earlier reports had indicated that both were scheduled to land and possibly photograph the surface. Mars 4 and 5, on the other hand, were orbiters designed to relay data back to earth from the Martian terrain. Thus, the Russians may still be able to use their single successful orbiter, Mars 5, as a radio link if at least one of the landers succeeds in its assignment...
