Mercury falling

The current Astronomy Magazine has a cover story "AMAZING MERCURY: Planet of Fire and Ice." Checking my bibliography, I find that 35 years ago I had one called "The Surprising World Called Mercury," which I wrote just before I became editor of that magazine (for what was certainly the shortest tenure in its history). I'd like to compare the two – but that was about four years before my first computer, so I don't have a copy handy.

Maybe if the work load backs off I can go check it at of the MIT journals library. Interesting to see what's no longer new; what's no longer true.
