...Everything. Lady Bird's offerings: a leather-bound chronicle of the L.B.J. Ranch since 1845; a cowhide portfolio containing a newspaper account of a 1918 visit to Fredericksburg, Va., by Lyndon's father; and a four-foot-high street-refuse bin decorated with photographs of Lady Bird's various trips around the country to encourage roadside-beautification projects. Lynda Bird gave him a photograph album from her travels in the Western U.S. this summer, and Luci Baines presented him with a white leather-bound volume of poems that she has written since she was a child. Typical...
...Does Artist Boris Chaliapin find it as amazing as I do that his 13-year-old painting of the then Governor should parallel so exactly the photograph taken just seconds before Stevenson's death...
...faith set strongly behind me, and my human limitation protecting me from too obliterating a vision, only to find that the picture was blurred, that God had moved, that the steadfast landmark, feature of all my maps, routes, views, references, had become an unidentifiable shadow. Now, if you are photographing an ancient monument of stone, and the stone moves and the photograph is blurred, perhaps it is wise to tell...
Flash photos have long been a matter of luck and frustration for the amateur photographer. Either he totes around cumbersome, electronically-charged strobe lights that always seem to go on the blink at the wrong moment or stuffs his pockets full of flashbulbs that have to be coaxed into the camera's flash gun before every photograph.

Packaged in threes for $1.95, the plastic-coated cube...
...important new discoveries in superconductivity. Liquid hydrogen came into its own when it was put to use in bubble chambers for experiments in high-energy physics. In such studies, accelerators smash the nucleus of a hydrogen atom, scattering subnuclear debris through the bubble chamber, where scientists can follow and photograph the paths of the tiny charged particles by their tracks of small bubbles. This technique, which was to have been used at Cambridge, has led to the discovery and identification of many new particles...
