Adams is so identified with black and white that most people would be surprised to learn that he started to shoot in color soon after Kodachrome was invented in the mid-1930s and that by the time of his death in 1984 he had produced nearly 3,500 color images. Though he allowed some of those pictures to be published in his lifetime, he never printed them himself, or at least not for the public. He didn't believe that the color processes of his day could produce results to compare with the rich visual deliberation, the fine-grained luxuriance...
Months after a summer blockbuster used the campus of Penn as a stand-in for what appears to be Princeton, the makers of "The Social Network," affectionately known as "the Facebook movie," are pulling a similar campus switch. Unable to shoot on Harvard's campus, the movie's producers have decided to film three outdoor campus scenes, referring to Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg's time at Harvard, at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore...

But when you get close to the three mile mark, they will fire into the water as a warning," says 23-year-old fisherman Ahmed Habil...
...musical interludes, and it got them from Pookie the Lion, a primitive hand puppet. Pookie would "lip-sync" the non-lyrics to Clark Terry's "Mumbles" or break into Johnny Standley's evangelist rant "It's in the Book" or the Animals' version of "(Boom Boom Boom Boom) Gonna Shoot You Right Down," and Sales would madly cavort along, a dervish of prepubescent ecstasy. (The show gave you a music education too.) In the mid-'60s, he had a hit of his own: a dance record, Soupy Sales Sez Do the Mouse, whose song "The Mouse" ranks in the novelty...
