...Legend of Sleepy Hollow," in The Sketch Book, Washington Irving. From one Irving to another, and this one is utterly different. But both Irvings share a delight in the grotesque, and Ichabod Crane is to Halloween, after all, what Dicken's Scrooge is to Christmas. This is must mid' o' the night reading, a story you can feel down deep in your Brom bones...
...story fell out of the paper after it could not find anything else to say about the tank. Before Hunnel was through, though, he had shown his enterprise by hiring an artist to sketch the image on one of the paper's unsatisfactory tank pictures.

When the series is fleshed out, weight and age attach themselves to her, and by the time Wyeth commits the image to paint she looks calcified, statuesque...
Voyager began life in 1981 as a sketch on a napkin at the weather-beaten Mojave Inn, near the airport. The sketcher was Burt Rutan, 43, an engineer with an established reputation for building quirky-looking but aerodynamically ingenious planes. With his brother Dick and Jeana Yeager (no relation, believes Jeana, to famous Test Pilot Chuck), Rutan had decided to attempt the around-the-world flight...
