Historic Journey. Remarkable as those photographs were, they tended for a few excited moments to hide the rest of a remarkable feat. Without a single snapshot to show for its travels, Mariner IV would still have earned its place in the annals of science. In its 325-million-mile, 228-day flight, it had charted interplanetary reaches never before explored by man and set an impressive record for long-distance communication. All during its trip, Mariner sent back valuable scientific information about the solar wind, cosmic dust, magnetic fields and deep-space radiation. In the vicinity of the red planet...
...established that contemporary portraits are two-way mirrors. Larry Rivers makes a collage portrait of Pop Artist Jim Dine on a metal storm window. Raise the bottom half, lower the top pane, and presto, a different Dine peers through. Pop Artist Andy Warhol tries to beat the penny-arcade snapshot by silk-screening the image many times over. Reginald Pollack found he had painted himself into a corner; his Self-Portrait (opposite page) shows his face surrounded by images of the girl he was then courting. She outnumbers him 6 to 1, and she got the message; when the portrait...
...confessed perpetrator of three crimes -the attempted rape, the unsolved killing of a Brooklyn charwoman, and the Wylie-Hoffert murders. The nurse, police said, had identified Whitmore. As to the double murder, police said that Whitmore diagramed the career girls' apartment for them and was even carrying a snapshot of Janice Wylie that he had snatched from her dresser. To be sure, Whitmore recanted his detailed, 60-page confession when he was arraigned. But Chief of Detectives Lawrence McKearney was unworried...
Manhattan D.A. Frank Hogan's investigators were soon less sure. Before signing his confession, Whitmore claimed that he had plucked the snapshot from his fathers junkyard in Wildwood, N.J., to "show my friends I've got a white girl." Last fall the D.A.'s men displayed the picture around Wildwood; it was easily recognized as that of a local girl named Arlene Franco, who had thrown it away. Keeping this development to themselves, Hogan's men also secretly discovered a witness who saw Whitmore in Wildwood, about 150 miles away from Manhattan, calmly sitting...
...show is only a few minutes old when a wonderful snapshot appears briefly on the screen - of a 1907 car broken down under a canopy of sycamores somewhere on a road in Europe, with 25-year-old Franklin Delano Roosevelt grubbing in the dust beside it, fixing a flat. The shot is characteristic of the best moments in a new, 27-part ABC series called F.D.R., which promises to be about as complete a review of the President's life as television has yet provided. Using family albums and home movies made by his daughter, Anna Halsted, fully...
