...employees, the economics of low rents and wages for his company. Between the towns of Thomas and Putnam, the huge grain elevators of the McNeill Grain Co. reach toward the cloudless sky like a concrete calliope. The early morning sun, filtered through the wheat, gives the highway an eerie brownish-golden cast. One almost expects to see Dorothy and her four friends following the "yellow brick road" westward to the Emerald City...
...delivered by midweek to eager scientists at the Lunar Receiving Laboratory (LRL). Although a thick coat of clinging dust prevented immediate detailed observation, geologists could see that several of the rocks were igneous-formed out of molten material like lava. They were also of a lighter hue than the brownish gray Apollo 11 rocks from the Sea of Tranquility-and much larger.

More Louis than Loew. The theater, formerly part of the Orpheum chain, had fallen on evil days. Its gaudy decor, a melange of rococo cupids, art nouveau statuary and Buddhist-Byzantine shrines, was shrouded in brownish dust. Decorator Clark Graves painted over most of the Byzantine and the Loew camp, highlighting those motifs which Louis XIV might have allowed in Versailles...
