...dark lunar sky-Surveyor's view of the earth. A color version of Surveyor's black-and-white pictures of the earth eclipsing the sun (TIME, May 5, 1967) showed the dark disk of the earth silhouetted against a yellow-orange halo, caused by the refraction of sunlight through the earth's atmosphere...
...hope is to open the range of the senses To beyond the removals that thought makes. To the whole horizon, to the vastness of sunlight and circularity. I want a horizon centered, I want to stand, on a circular threshing floor, in a Peloponnesian plain. And deliver my senses there, for a permanent moment, to kind wind...
Nowhere nearly so lucky was Italy's No. 1 driver, Lorenzo Bandini, 31. Roaring out of the tunnel into sunlight, Bandini's Ferrari caromed off a guard rail, slammed into a lamppost, flipped over and burst into flame. It took rescuers four excruciating minutes to pull him out. Doctors charted ten chest fractures and third-degree burns over 70% of his body. Three days later he died...

In all this Disneyland atmosphere, the handsomest work was undoubtedly the most stationary: the many varieties of outsized, technologically sophisticated minimal sculpture, much of it stationed outdoors (see color pages).

It was originally dedicated to two Egyptian brothers, Petesi and Pihor, who had been drowned in the Nile. When the rising waters of the 300-mile-long lake formed by the Aswan High Dam similarly threatened to engulf their sanctuary, the Egyptian government had it dismantled into 650 pieces in 1962. The temple was offered to the U.S. in gratitude for a $16 million U.S. contribution toward...
