It was little noted, except in Middle America where such things still matter, that among Neil Armstrong's extraterrestrial baggage was a special badge of his college fraternity, Phi Delta Theta.

...exhibition gallery is still higher, almost hidden. Two low-ceilinged spaces, lit even to the corners, surround the Boston Now exhibition by young Boston artists. Few of the thirty pieces of painting and sculpture are even three old. Hyman Bloom's mysterious, Dorerlike forest in Charcoal, done by the dean of Boston artists in 1963, is remote and antique...
