Pickering's progress was smooth and steady. B.S., M.S., Ph.D.-he got all the requisite degrees. He stayed on in Pasadena to join the Caltech faculty, get married to a pretty Pomona girl named Muriel Bowler and conduct cosmic ray studies under Millikan. In 1944, when JPL missiles and rockets had become sophisticated enough to require a cargo of accurate telemetering equipment, Pickering was the inevitable choice to supervise the work; he was an acknowledged expert in the electronics art of long-distance measurement and control...

"In square old Pasadena," says Price, "3,000 people came to the Sears art show, and 180 paintings were sold in one night. They're not buying for investment; they're buying for pleasure." It's a pleasure for Sears...
