...Apollo space flights, many feared the perils of the journey. In houses of worship around the U.S., clerics and laymen prayed for the astronauts' success. At St. Ann's Roman Catholic Church in Boston, the four brothers of Patricia Finnegan Collins, wife of Astronaut Mike Collins, heard Father John Schatzel read from Genesis: "I will be with you and protect you wherever you go. I will bring you back to this land." In Neil Armstrong's home town of Wapakoneta, Ohio, the Rev. Herman J. Weber prayed at St. Paul's United Church of Christ...
...Biscay. In succeeding generations men would skim over that water as if it were a pool, and the heroism of the early sailors on their scary voyage would resemble that of fearful children in the dark. What the explorer does by courage, the settler does by habit. What the father does by taking a deep breath, the son will do with a yawn.

His father, a successful self-made candy manufacturer, was the inventor of Life Savers; his mother, unhappy, nervous, was preternaturally possessive. Crane and each of his parents, Unterecker explains, "concerned with immense problems, anxiously kept them from the other two." Yet each kept "guessing and misunderstanding the motives and actions of the others." To know this...
...choice of social reality for subject-matter and its tendency to documentary as method had a tremendous influence in France, giving rise to a large school of French documentarists (Jean Rouch, Chris Marker) and a larger consciousness of film as more that a purely fictional narrative medium. Andre Bazin, father of modern film criticism, stressed the integrity of the photographed event, the virtue of films which preserve a measure of reality's implicit ambiguity instead of analyzing reality for perfect clarity. Indeed, he transmitted these semi-documentary values form the Neo-Realists to modern European film-makers...
