...Titan, the largest of Saturn's ten moons, by a team of Cornell University scientists under Astronomer-Exobiologist Carl Sagan. From infra-red and other telescopic measurements of the satellite, a body as large as the planet Mercury, Sagan and his colleagues conclude that Titan is relatively much warmer (about-100° F.) than previously estimated. It also has a thicker atmosphere than had been suspected and is leaking small quantities of hydrogen gas into space. Pondering these surprising conditions on Titan, the Cornell group has evolved a picture of a strange and turbulent world...
...Inside the museum, this conversation of silvery tones resumes as the sun spills through a long slit in the roof where the halves of the vaults meet, and is diffused by a perforated deflector slung on yokes. The light washes the plain concrete surface of the cycloids, gently blending warmer reflections from a white oak floor. Curve answers to curve, vault to channel. There is no glare on the pictures. Yet as the sun moves, the light, and by implication the space, changes subtly, like reflections in a pond...
...bathes more and keeps warmer, works shorter hours, earns more and strikes more. He gets longer vacations, travels less, spends less on food, clothing and tobacco, more on housing and cars-and, if he lives in London, he sees nearly twice as much winter sunshine as he did 20 years ago. Such is the Briton of today, according to a 220-page compendium of statistics published this month by the British government under the dry title Social Trends...
...their ski edges deeper into the hill and tend to have better control. The quality of the snow at most European resorts lies somewhere in between the West's powder and the East's iciness. European ski areas are generally 5° to 10° warmer in winter than those in New England...
...path to integration has been somewhat eased-and their welcome made a little warmer-by new estimates that only some 26,000 Asians, instead of the 30,000 to 50,000 refugees originally expected, will immigrate to Britain. Even so, there will probably be another 5,000 Asians left behind, and they are the unluckiest of all. They earlier rejected British passports in favor of Ugandan citizenship, which has been arbitrarily revoked by Amin. They are now stateless. Britain has declined to consider restoring them to citizenship, and has referred their case to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees...
