...chill, grey dawn, near Malta, Mont., some 250 people waited nervously. John Q. Stewart, Princeton astronomer, and General Electric's James Stokley, old hands who had worked on three previous eclipses, frowned blackly at the cloud-covered eastern sky. They had rehearsed for weeks for this event. They had taken a Lloyds insurance policy against the disaster of a cloudy day. They and their 60 assistants (including famed Princeton Physicist Ira Freeman and his wife), were primed with cameras, light meters, other eclipse-recording paraphernalia...
They found Elijah Mohammed, alias Muck-Muhd the Prophet, alias Poole, leader of the Temple of Islam, rolled up in a rug under his mother's bed. They locked up Stokley Delmar Hart, president of the Brotherhood of Liberty for the Black People of America. They arrested F. H. Hammurabi Robb, director of the World Wide Friends of Africa.

S. cities -Philadelphia, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles-whose inhabitants can go stargazing indoors.* Boss of the Buhl Planetarium is deep-voiced James Stokley (pronounced "Stokely"), generally considered the most inventive of planetarium showmen, who last spring left a job at the Pels Planetarium in Philadelphia to take charge in Pittsburgh (TIME, April...
...feature of the Buhl star chamber with which Director Stokley is particularly Punch-pleased is an engineering stunt unique among the world's planetaria. When the audience assembles for the show, the big, dumbbell-shaped Zeiss projector is nowhere to be seen. It is mounted on a platform in a concealed pit under the floor. When the lights go out for the show, a section of the floor drops a few feet, slides sidewise under the basement ceiling.
