Most Appealing. Museum Director Michael Collins, the Apollo 11 astronaut who circled the moon in the command module Columbia while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin explored the lunar surface for the first time, figures that the Spirit is the most popular airplane in NASM. It was a big drawing card in the Smithsonian's old building as well, and Lindbergh himself viewed it there a number of times. Once, in 1959, Lindbergh asked museum officials if he might see the plane alone and startled them when he also requested a ladder. Without a word, he climbed the ladder...
They demand that he be returned to the airwaves as an angry prophet. Their gambit works; the show's a hit.

It's a construct, not a natural--a device, not entertainment and it's never been a great popular success. Too self-serious to project a world of beauty into which one would want to project oneself, Kane is too dark and heaving a work to have dignity; Kane's immaturity makes it condemnatory. It challenges the order of things, it's disruptive. Welles and the young people who made...
