Others in the pantheon are Gabby Hartnett, Detroit's Mickey Cochrane, and an earlier Redleg, Ernie Lombardi, whose style and skills closely parallel Bench's own.

Sweeping down from high above the Arctic Circle to Antarctica, it will then head back north every 103 minutes. This orbit has an important advantage: it will bring the spacecraft back over the same spot on earth every 18 days at almost exactly the same time of day. Thus, ERTS's photographs, each covering a 100-by-100-mile square, will be taken at each...
