...answer may lie in a theory suggested by Astronomer Bradford A. Smith of New Mexico State University and others long before Mariner 9 took off. Smith says that water may be stored as ice in the planet's northern polar cap under a thin layer of frozen carbon dioxide, or dry ice. That hidden water, he says, may be released periodically into the Martian atmosphere, producing regional rains and perhaps floods to erode the arid Martian surface. Bemused scientists at Caltech's Jet Propulsion Lab are now calling Smith's rains Martian "monsoons...
...Carbon Copy. The almost eerie resemblance to her mother is more than superficial. Her notes sometimes wobble with Judy's vibrato, and she has the same warming urgency and involvement in her performance. Says Singer Gail Martin, Dean Martin's daughter and Liza's childhood friend: "Her mannerisms are like her mother's. The gestures, that whole nervous thing?not quite getting the words out, and the fingers all over the place...
Still, Liza is far from a carbon copy. "She has a style of her own and a better range in her voice than...
...forms of life may once have existed-or still exist-on Mars. That possibility has also been strengthened by readings from Mariner's instruments. They indicate that about 100,000 gallons of water vapor escape daily into space from the Martian atmosphere. Scientists believe that the vapor and carbon dioxide are being continually vented from volcanoes in the same kind of process that created the earth's early atmosphere...
Simon's lyrics express a mixture of urban and exurban complaints: carbon monoxide ("the ole Detroit perfume"), thin motel walls ("Couple in the next room/Bound to win a prize"), everybody's Congressman ("He's avoiding me"). Simon has always been a fine rock guitarist-indeed, his guitar was usually all the accompaniment S & G had at their concerts-but the new LP is filled with the unexpected lights and shadows of a newly refined classical technique. The best thing in the album, though, is a number that Simon just sings, leaving the accompaniment to others...
