The Barb 12 The Gay Days We Remetaber by LIDDIA LIPSHITS "The Day Liddia’s Levis Died” I was living over on Piedmont Ave. in 1970. En joying the fresh air, I de cided to take a short cut through the park-well, al right, so it’s really three blocks out of my way. (Don’t get picky) ‘‘Hmm-nothing, but it*s still early,” I thought. I sat on my favorite bench and lit a cigarette, hoping something would cruise by. ‘‘Wait a minute, Mary”? I thought to myself. Just then a red VW appeared Be ing near sighted doesn’t help right now and distance does make a difference. ‘‘Hmm-he’s coming over •my way. Oh my Gawd, a real hunky-poo!” ”a cigarette?” He ask ed. ‘‘Sure”, I replied. As I am holding my butt against his (Cigarette, that is) his hand finds my crotch and I know it’s true love at last. ‘‘No, dear not here in front of God and the queens. I live a few blocks from here”, I said. It was such a short walk, especially when some hunk is feeling your ass all the way. You can imagine what my mind was concocting and what scenes it ensued. I thought the elevator would never reach the pent house. I took his jacket and got him a drink. He grabbed at my levis from the top of my fly and pulled. The zipper gave way and tore outright to the bottom of my fly, then he tore them off my hot buns. And that’s when my trusty crusing levis died. They certainly went but in grand style and not in disgrace. So they were buried with dignified pomp and circumstance as 1 threw them down the incin erator. I say no hope for their re - surrection-but what stories those levis could have told. Now I sit here with a martini and dread the 1 years it will take to break in a new pair of jeans into a satisfactory condition. \ 3801 N. Ocean Blvd. ^ Ft.

No, it’s not little green men trying to contact us, it’s the NASA/JPL Mari ner 10, out exploring our solar system! This spacecraft will sup ply earth scientists with out-, of-this-world information ra dioed back during its quick silver trip past Mercury. This Mercury arc will help deter mine whether that planet, the closest to the sun, can have any atmosphere at all, and what that’s made of, if it does. Mariner 10 will also size up Mercury’s mass and radius. It’s believed to be the smallest planet in our system-only six percent of the earth’s size! While Mariner will make much of Mercury (or as much as there is of Mercury) it won’t be Venusian blind, either. Another aspect of this mission is to investigate the dense upper atmosphere and sound out the thick ionosphere of the morning and evening “star” that have, so far, kept us from learning very much about our nearest and brightest neighbor. In addition, on this dual planet fly-by, Mariner will study the graviation harmon ics of both planets-trying to find just how much pull they have with each other! All these new experiences and experiments in the field of radio science will be trans mitted by Motorola-manu factured equipment, as a large degree of the data was in such spaced-out outer space projects of the past as the Mercury, Gemini, Apol lo, Mariner 9 and Skylab flights. As for the future, astron omers hope to discover more universal truths by using space electronics and radio communication satellites to get a ring-side seat in explor ing Saturn...and beyond.
