EAST German guards, their tommy guns swinging jauntily at their hips, last week pulled a striped red and white barrier across the autobahn checkpoint at Helmstedt on the border between East and West Germany. Two hours later, after cars and trucks had piled up for nearly a mile, the East Germans reopened the road and the traffic flowed once more between West Berlin and West Germany. It was a chilling reminder of West Berlin's vulnerability and a portent of what may come...
...team had come in on the uninspired end of a 53-38 score. But why this sudden interest in basketball for an old football fan? It turns out that one of G.W.'s intramural squads has christened itself "the Fulbrights"-complete with red shirts emblazoned with a white dove on the front-and J. William was there to cheer the boys on. After all, he reasoned, "If I got up at 5 a.m. to see the President leave, why shouldn't I show up here...
...times more clearly than it can be seen through Earth telescopes. While Mariner 6 sweeps over the equatorial regions of Mars, both cameras will shoot a series of 24 closeup pictures programmed to include areas of interest on the red planet: permanent and variable dark markings, "canals" and "oases," white markings on crater rims and other enigmatic features that have been seen through terrestrial telescopes or were photographed four years ago during Mariner 4's historic flight (TIME cover, July 23, 1965). The pictures will be converted into digital "on-off" signals and radioed back to earth, which...
Five days later, if all goes well, Mariner 7, a second Mars probe, will make a sweep across the south polar regions of the planet, shooting closeup photographs of the white polar cap and areas that appear to change color seasonally. Mariner 7 is scheduled to be launched on March 24, but will take less time than its predecessor to make the trip; its trajectory is different and the Earth will have moved some 25 million miles closer to Mars during the month that separates the shots...
...basic elements of Moog's machine are amplifiers, mixers, filters anc voltage-controlled oscillators. Some ol these, connected to the keyboard, trigger various "raw" sounds, such as "sawtooth" waves and "white noise." Other parts then modify the raw sounds by controlling their attack, volume and rate of decay, and by adding such characteristics as vibrato or echo. Complicated combinations of sounds-like the counterpoint and chords of Carlos' Bach album-are achieved by taping each series of sounds as they are produced, then combining them on multiple tracks of the same tape...
