...Force Observers James C. Greenacre and Edward M. Barr had a painstaking job: with the 24-in. telescope of the Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz., they were to map a part of the moon-the well-defined crater Aristarchus, 27 miles in diameter. Both men were thoroughly familiar with the crater and its vicinity; Greenacre could hardly believe his eyes when he saw two bright red spots looming to the northwest and a third just inside the crater's rim. "I had the impression that I was looking into a large, polished gem ruby," he says...

The moon waned, throwing the crater into cold and darkness, but in late November, two days after the edge of sunlight reached Aristarchus again, Dr. Hall and four other observers saw a reddish area, twelve miles long and 1½ miles wide, inside...

When Stripper Candy Barr got 15 years for possession of one marijuana cigarette, the judge was none other than Deer Hunter Brown; the question in Dallas was how any juror could vote for acquittal when his wife had watched the curvesome defendant...
...organize the show, Beaverbrook assigned John Richardson, 39, art critic of his London Evening Standard. Richardson drew up a list of 200 artists, then whittled it down to 102 in consultations with such authorities as Sir Kenneth Clark, former director of London's National Gallery, and Alfred Barr of Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art. The show is called the Dunn International after the present Lady Beaverbrook's first husband, Canadian Steelmaker Sir James Dunn...
