When the streak, in slightly different positions, showed up on later photographs, the astronomers were sure they had seen something new. Last week Drs. Seth B. Nicholson and Robert S. Richardson announced that the streak was an asteroid (midget planet) only nine-tenths of a mile in diameter and about 8,000,000 miles away from the earth...

Some watchers from afar were also disturbed...

When the Press ran a "progress report" on the memorial, with a front-view photograph of the Fredericks model, only two readers felt strongly enough to write protests...
