...shipped to factories experienced in its production?the best are in Italy and Scotland?where it is spun into yarn, dyed and woven. The scarcity of the raw material has historically ensured a high price for the final product, sealing cashmere's reputation as a luxury fabric...
...Paris four years ago, it has been seen by millions of people in 53 cities. To find a project of comparable ambition, you have to look back to "The Family of Man," the milestone 1955 museum show that toured the world to illustrate common threads in the human fabric. But that exhibition involved scores of photographers. Arthus-Bertrand spearheads his own effort, though even his most delicate images require something like a paramilitary operation--his team now totals 15--to handle planning and logistics. Some nations, like Saudi Arabia and China, have yet to give him flyover permission. "One problem...

Even if that one proves to be blocked too, it would still be possible to drive over the bags, though that is a risky move since the fabric may have stiffened in the extreme Martian cold and could damage or interfere with the craft's solar panels. In either event, no one at J.P.L. is remotely calling these problems mission-enders--though no one expects the rover to be able to move off the lander much before...

Sound was similarly no-frills, largely limited to a few trumpets and introductory music (composed by Douglas A. Balliett ’05) vaguely reminiscent of “Masterpiece Theater.” The costumes, designed by Gladys Lee, were effective and appropriate to the period but not particularly striking...
