...announced that his Administration was planning to submit to the United Nations a plan for international U.N. surveillance from the air-an updated version of his Russian-spurned "open skies" proposal of 1955. As an illustration of how much aerial surveillance could detect, the President displayed a blown-up photograph of the North Island Naval Air Station at San Diego. The photograph had been taken at an altitude of 13 miles (from a U-2 of the same type as Pilot Francis Powers flew over Russia), but visible in it were parking-lot stripes a mere six inches wide...
...Soviet Union, using a giant rocket developed for military purposes, that opened the space age on Oct. 4, 1957 with Sputnik I. With the doomed dog Laika, the U.S.S.R. put the first animal into orbit. The Soviets scored the first hit on the moon, took the first photograph of the moon's far side.

Pablo Picasso once took a look at a 1907 photograph by Alfred Stieglitz and exclaimed, "That man is working in the same direction I am!"

In fact, it was a trick photograph that Armstrong-Jones, posing as all three members of a proper Victorian family, had sent out as a Christmas card in 1954. All gags aside, irrepressible Margaret and Tony announced last week that they will honeymoon in the Caribbean on the royal yacht Britannia, which...
...Klan publication, Fellowship Forum. A typical Forum cartoon showed what a Cabinet meeting would be like if Smith got elected: the Pope and a dozen fat priests sitting happily around the table, with Smith, in bellboy livery, serving them liquor. Out in the boondocks. Smith haters showed audiences a photograph of Governor Smith at the inauguration of New York City's Holland Tunnel in 1927, warned that he was planning to extend the tunnel to the basement of the Vatican if he got elected President...
