...label of Minimal Art has latched onto Stella's work. He makes enormous paintings-with surfaces as smooth as a car. Flat color without a shadow is neatly placed within ruled or compassed lines so that no trace of the artist's hand remains. He could command a computer to execute it. But a startling combination of geometrical forms makes his pictures look different from the other Minimal Artists...

Soon Lovell, Haise and Swigert were on the carrier's flight deck, hearing Rear Admiral Donald Davis say, "We're glad you made it, boys." The ship's chaplain said a prayer...

Alan Shepard's Freedom 7 Mercury spacecraft, Gemini 12 and the command module of Apollo 8 are suspended just above visitors' heads; a lunar landing vehicle perches like a water bug near the moon rock. There is plenty of Pop art, courtesy of Andy Warhol and sundry American artists, but they have been upstaged by an American exhibit (Winslow Homer, Edward...
