Perhaps the busiest practitioner of this fast-growing trade is tall, bespectacled John Watson, 40, of Dallas. His specialty is creating moonlight, though he produces a myriad other effects to order. His work has taken him to both East and West coasts and as far north as Canada, but most of his clients are in the Southwest. For, quite aside from the pleasure an oil baron gets from seeing his flora through the picture window, he needs night lighting for another reason. The incinerating Texas sunshine discourages bosky browsing in the landscaped areas; southwestern millionaires take their ease among...
Popovich said that Nikolayev's capsule "looked like a very small moon in the distance." Vision was so clear aloft, added Nikolayev, that he could see the main streets of cities on earth; at times, he added, moonlight flooded into his cabin, illuminating the switches before him. Popovich said that each time he finished eating, he switched on a vacuum cleaner to clear away the lint from his paper napkin that hung weightless in the cabin. In a personal experiment with weightlessness, Popovich said that he had carried a bottle half full of water aloft with him. The water...

...took his psychiatrist's advice to drive a cab in Paris for the therapeutic value. Annoyed by gabby passengers, Perrin responded to their chatter with the same contemptuous wisecrack: "Mais tout (a ne vaut pas un clair de lune à Maubeuge" (But all that is not worth the moonlight at Maubeuge)-a retort all the more effective in that Perrin had never set eyes on Maubeuge...
Between fares, Driver Perrin pasted together some lyrics−"I've "traveled the world, I know the universe/ I've rolled in luxury, and I've rolled my r's/ And I say, no-no, no, no, no . . . All that's not worth the moonlight at Maubeuge"-and put them to music. At first, hearing the song, the Maubeugeois felt insulted, but as crowds of the curious began to visit the town, shopkeepers and bistro owners changed their tune. Crescent-shaped lights were strung over the streets; shop windows were filled with moon-shaped cookies...
