I. GENERAL ACTIVITIES OF LIVING ORGANISMS.<br><br>The casual observer, even if he watches thoughtfully the various activities of plants and animals, would hardly believe these activities capable of classification into two general classes.

Anton Chekhov, Anton Chekov и др.
Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was a master of the short story. The son of a former serf in southern Russia, he attended Moscow University to study medicine, writing short stories for periodicals in order to support his family.

These were the first three challenges of many that tested the skill and minds of the brilliant team of scientist-astronauts Arcot, Wade, and Morey.
