...We’d love to do an 11 a.m. march down,” Drill Master Clark Rosensweig ’05 said. “But it’s more difficult to get permits for later in the morning, because by 11 a.m. the traffic is a lot more hectic...
Jeanne's name was put on the hurricane list more than 25 years ago by her longtime friend and weather forecaster Gilbert Clark. Clark, 81, who worked at the National Hurricane Center from 1955 to 1990, was in charge of naming the storms until 1979. "I was running out of names, so I threw her name in there," says Clark.

Most of the names Clark chose are still being used, because hurricane names are repeated in a six-year cycle. A name is retired only when the namesake storm causes extensive damage and the country affected makes such a request.

"The most cherished dimension of the old museum was its sense of intimacy," says Glenn Lowry, MOMA...
...Lord Kelvin, president of the Royal Society and no mean scientist himself, predicted that "X rays will prove to be a hoax." When Gary Cooper turned down the Rhett Butler role in Gone With the Wind, he is said to have remarked, "I'm just glad it will be Clark Gable who's falling flat on his face and not Gary Cooper." "Everything that can be invented, has been invented," announced Charles H. Duell, commissioner of the U.S. Patents Office...
