Rockefeller Jr. and his wife Abby Aldrich, and Albert Einstein and his wife Elsa, who was the subject of a cover story (Dec. 22, 1930) that told how she cared for her great but absent-minded husband. Other couples, such as Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne (Nov. 8, 1937), have appeared on the cover together. And some show business people are somewhat hard to classify: for example, Ava Gardner was on the cover (Sept. 3, 1951) before she married Frank Sinatra, and he made...

The screen is photoemissive-it gives off electrons when struck by the faintest light. These photoelectrons are then speeded up by high electrical charges so that when they hit a phosphor (luminescent) screen in the tube, they make a much brighter image. The process is repeated three times, until...
