Viking 1 to Narrow Orbit for Mars Landing Check
In Pasadena and Los Angeles reports the Viking 1 mission plans to tighten its Martian orbit to 24 hours 37 minutes to examine the 4th of July landing site for hazards. A 1:43 p.m. EDT engine firing will occur, followed by a 2 p.m. EDT stereo imaging session over the site. Meanwhile, Patricia Hearst case resumes with William and Emily Harris awaiting trial on kidnapping, robbery and assault charges as Hearst undergoes psychiatric tests. A jury panel of 50 is to be chosen in Judge Brandler's courtroom. In Boston, state workers strike over wages, illegal under Massachusetts law, prompting Gov. Dukakis to seek an injunction to end the walkout affecting 50,000 of 65,000 employees. Picket lines and bridge closures disrupt rush hour.
