World Weekly News cover story, August 9:

"Face On Mars Beams Warning to Earth" (with cover photo)

Story on page 5, with another photo captioned,

"Mile-long monument, center of photo, houses the Martian tele-
vision transmitter that has been sending the Earth stark images
of a long-dead civilization. Scientists who have seen the night-
marish pictures beamed from the gigantic face say they were
made by a race battling a deadly plague."

Named are "Swiss astronomer Ludin Pasche" and "Dr Lars-Tvar
Carlsson, the noted Swedish astronomer".

"It shows thousands and thousands of wretched souls dying in the
streets .. The suggestion is that the planet had been stricken
with a deadly plague."

More seriously, isn't there more to it than just the "face" ?
Aren't there some interesting geometrical relationships among
other objects in the area ?
