DONALD SOULE's sets and Linda Martin's costumes were Victorian par excellence. In a rather unique design idea, Soule elected to extend a small terrace across the entire rear of the set, and in its contrasting to the high, vaulted ceiling, it built an atmosphere of expansiveness (It would be worthwhile, however, for the Loeb to paint the back wall of the stage, or at least remove the smudges, if they intend to go on using any more sets without a final drop or curtain in back...
...steered with only one service-module rocket cluster-or even with only the thrusters on the command module. What worried space-agency engineers was the possibility of further deterioration in the propulsion system. The small thruster systems, as well as Apollo's big main engine at the rear of the service module, use the same type of oxidizer. What is more, the chemical had come from the same batch at Cape Kennedy. Thus, if it contained some contaminant, all of the spacecraft's engine systems might well be imperiled...
...Chinese sausage so exquisitely prepared that travelers carry it back to Hong Kong as gifts for friends. It was a calm, bucolic village untouched by war. Now the sausage shop is gone, a few gun emplacements and foxholes testifying to its brief, final existence as a strongpoint. In the rear of the shop are charred remains of sausage meat, roasted black by fire. Soldiers and townspeople report a fierce battle, with bombing and plenty of mortar and artillery fire. The untidy debris of war is everywhere: mortar fragments, rifle clips, hand-grenade cartons, an entrenching tool...
...Required. Sometimes that is a difficult task. Weese went to Louisville to save a small bank that he describes as "one of the nation's most sophisticated examples of Greek Revival style." By building a new auditorium and stage between the bank and an old warehouse on a rear lot, he turned the complex into a theater. Residents of Montgomery, Ala., called Weese to save the classical pre-Civil War state capitol from legislators who want a new building. He has proposed new lighting and air conditioning and a refurbishing of the gracious old details, down to the yellow...
...most Americans, Rear Admiral Robert Edwin Peary, U.S.N., is an absolute legend that goes like this: on April 6, 1909, after 23 years, eight attempts and Arctic hardships that included the loss of his toes, Peary became the first man to stand at the North Pole. It is a nearly perfect schoolboy legend of endurance and courage rewarded with honor and wealth. There is even a touch of Melville in Peary's faithful black polar companion, Matthew Henson, who wound up with a $900-a-year job as a messenger at the U.S. Customs House...
