...summarizing the Viking findings, they announced that the results made it impossible to say that there was or was not life on Mars. That has remained NASA's official position. But unofficially, a handful of scientists support the view of Physicist Robert Jastrow, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies. Says he in a forthcoming article in Natural History magazine: "Although the Viking experiments have contradictory elements, they seem to indicate that life, or some process closely imitating life, exists on Mars today...
...extraordinary present, for sure. The Smithsonian, otherwise known as "the nation's attic," has created a paean to the daring imaginations of the Wright brothers, Goddard, Lindbergh, Rickenbacker, Sikorsky, Earhart, Douglas and Lockheed's Johnson. The scene stealers are located in three giant bays (each 124 ft. by 115 ft. by 62 ft. high). In the main entrance bay-the Milestones of Flight Gallery-are the Wrights' Kitty Hawk Flyer, the first aircraft to achieve manned, powered flight, and the Spirit of St. Louis, in which Charles Lindbergh, need anyone be reminded, flew the Atlantic solo...
...dead stars, and human beings are litterally star children. People−and all other forms of life on earth−are collections of atoms forged in stellar furnaces. "All of chemistry and therefore all of life has been formed by stars," says Astrophysicist Patrick Thaddeus of NASA'S Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City. "With the exception of hydrogen, everything in our bodies has been produced in the thermonuclear reactions within stars...
...Anne Catherine Green, widow of Printer Jonas Green, by whom she bore 14 children, served as printer to the province of Maryland and publisher of its first newspaper, the Maryland Gazette. The province's second newspaper, the Maryland Journal, is also published by a woman: Mary Katherine Goddard. In addition to her editorial work, the indefatigable Miss Goddard, 38, manages Baltimore's busiest printing firm, owns a bookstore, and became city postmaster last year. In her career, Miss Goddard is following the example of her mother, Sarah Updike Goddard, former publisher of the Providence Gazette...
...Hynckel sequences are all memorable. Unfortunately, the sappy stretches go after the viewer with the insistent momentum of a molasses tidal wave and one wonders where Chaplin comes off with the nerve of portraying the persecuted as these sweet-eyed Jews the puts on the screen. Paulette Goddard really gets insufferable, but the globe-ballet is perhaps the most wondrous piece of screen acting of the greatest artist in all movies. In both the good and bad ways, this picture helps one remember the story about W.C. Fields and the writer who asked him who the world's greatest comedian...
