...photographs were as scientifically valuable as they were scenic. A panoramic shot of the mountains, for example, showed distinct layering on the different slopes. But surprisingly, the layers slant in one direction in some places and take a sharply different course in others. Since the layers were probably laid down by the same lava flows, why did they veer off in different directions? The most likely explanation, according to Paul Gast, chief of lunar and planetary science at Houston's Manned Spacecraft Center, is that these flows probably preceded the cataclysmic event (presumably a large meteor impact) that created...
Different Episodes. One sample that especially attracted their attention was the 8-ft.-long core that the astronauts had struggled to extract from the moon. In the first three of five core sections, they found 24 distinct layers of material. Just as tree rings reveal clues to yearly climate changes, each layer in the core should provide evidence of different episodes in the moon's history...
Though the American Orthodox Church maintains cordial ties with Perry's denomination, it has a "high church" tone markedly distinct from the evangelical character of the Metropolitan Community churches. Until three years ago, Father Robert M. Clement, 46, the New York denomination's mustachioed, long-haired founder, was a priest in the Polish National Catholic
Numeiry's stance underscored the deep-rooted resistance in Arab lands to Communist ideology, as distinct from Soviet aid (TIME, Aug. 9). Egypt, for example, relies almost totally on Moscow for military equipment, including some sophisticated Soviet aircraft-a handful of MIG-235 and about 20 SU-11s the hottest planes in the Russian air force. Even so, President Anwar Sadat told a closed session of his Arab Socialist Union two weeks ago that Egypt would never become Communist, would never recognize an Arab Communist government and would continue to resist Communism throughout the Arab world. A prominent Egyptian...
...summertime entertainment, the popular novel retains certain distinct advantages over even the most portable television set. The book is easy to operate and almost never needs repair. It functions at all altitudes and particularly well at sea level, where sand, salt air and suntan lotions have no adverse effects on its performance. These two suitable-for-summer novels are brisk, undemanding and unoffensive, except possibly to cautious Washington bureaucrats, Chinese Communists, members of the Italian-American Civil Rights League or Hungarians overly sensitive to the revolving-door joke (they go in behind you, but come out in front...
