...with any overwhelming event, the fallout was widespread and sometimes offbeat. Scores of children born last week were named "Apollo" or "Moon," "Tranquillity" or "Luna." The Siam Motor Works offered scholarships from primary school through university for the Thai children born nearest the exact moments of lunar landing and splashdown. The Berlin Zoo christened three wildcat cubs born during the moon walk Neil, Buzz and Mike. For a "moon happening" in Vienna, a bakery produced a 300-lb., 6-ft. cake decorated with marzipan craters...

His father was a rag dealer, and so bleak was the Chicago neighborhood in which he was born 38 years ago, he recalls, that it left him with a lasting sense of esthetic deprivation-a fact that probably accounts for the almost pretty profusion of colors in his present canvases. After studying at Chicago's Art Institute, where he was most influenced by the Postimpressionist collection, he found no galleries in which to display his work...
