Catcher Jim DePalo returns, but he'll need a back-up. That could be freshman Frank Morelli, used primarily as a bullpen catcher this year...
...filling the empty chair. Brief experience with the former is not encouraging. After years of letting the group set their tones and rhythms, the remaining bachelors find their loneliness difficult. And without the calming core with which music provided their lives, they are restive. The appearance of Edoardo Morelli (Pierre Malet) is an unspoken prayer's answer. He is a superb musician. He is a handsome and energizing presence on the stage and in their lives. He can find women, pot or a high-stakes poker game wherever they go. He reminds them all of their lost youths...
...Passive. Biagio Morelli, 39, a soft-spoken Parma city employee, went even further. He organized Italy's first real consumer boycott.

Says Morelli, who charges that the wholesalers made $40 million profit on the operation: "People always said the Italian consumer was too passive and uninformed to be organized. Yet look at the effect...
Microbiologists Roy Cameron and Frank Morelli made their discovery by accident. The researchers, now at the Darwin Research Institute in Dana Point, Calif., had been working for the past three years on a project aimed at evaluating the environmental impact of deep drilling on Antarctica. As part of their work, they regularly analyzed the material brought up by the drills to determine what surface contaminants had seeped into the soil. Some experiments conducted on cores taken from layers of soil, rock and ice that had been laid down between 10,000 and 1 million years ago produced startling results. Several...
Neither Cameron nor Morelli is willing to claim categorically that their bacteria are the world's oldest living organisms. But if the 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...
