Margaret Reeb is somewhere in her 80s. In her Livingston, Mont., sitting room stands an ancient upright piano. On a wall hangs a photograph of Reeb and a smiling Eleanor Roosevelt. The topic of her verse--the mountain's beauty, the nobility of the pioneer gold miners who wrested their destinies from it--is a variation on an old frontier theme. Were she merely a wistful ex-schoolteacher, one could dismiss Reeb as a member of a familiar but vanishing species: the Western romantic...
DAVID RUBINGER has been a TIME photographer in Israel for nearly a half-century, covering major wars (and not a few small ones) and documenting the lives of statesmen and ordinary citizens. Next week the Israeli government will honor his work with its prestigious Israel Prize for lifetime achievement. Perhaps his most memorable photograph is one of young Israeli paratroopers at Jerusalem's Western Wall in 1967, just minutes after fighting had ceased. It quickly became an emblem of Israel's stunning victory...
...upcoming ABC movie on the explorers Henry Morton Stanley and David Livingstone near Mount Kenya recently, Halmi hired a group of Masai tribesmen as extras.

The infamous Hanoi Hilton, where American POW's like Peterson were held and tortured, has been demolished. In its place are two office and residential towers...
Even before Cassini's work begins and Galileo's ends, other ships could be on the way to join them in the outer solar system. NASA is tentatively planning several new Europa probes, including one that will photograph its surface and take radar soundings beneath its crust. If the radar picks up the telltale echoes of liquid water, another spacecraft would be sent to land on Europa and release a heated probe designed to melt through the ice layer and look for signs of life in the seas below...
