...issue. While Galbraith went about his work, Scarfe sketched, filling two pads with impressions. Then he checked into Boston's Ritz-Carlton Hotel carrying a bag of flour, a pile of Boston newspapers and a roll of wire. "The staff of the hotel must have thought I was mad," he says. "The shreddings on the floor looked like bread crumbs. They probably thought I was cooking in the room...
...minds of the viewers, but they blew their cool instead. Some raced around trying to pull the plugs of the projectors; others tried to get their hands on the organizers.

Bulging and misshapen, bristling with squiggles of antennas, the LM seemed more the creation of scientists gone mad than a craft entrusted with Project Apollo's most crucial task: to land astronauts on the moon and lift them off again. But in a seven-hour test flight, LM last week performed like a full-fledged space swan...
