Seven years ago the "El" was torn down and replaced by a decently buried subway. Then the hard sunlight really showed up Sixth Avenue's tawdriness, made its occasional big stores and skyscrapers look prissy...
...feel of home and peace was more than this. In the cattle country it was the excitement of rodeo time: the smell of corrals, the sight of a squealing bronco making his first, lurching jump in dusty sunlight. To many an American it was the lovely, casual look of a yellow fly line falling out on running water and the first, heart-stirring tug of a hooked trout.

It took less than 60 seconds. Then the brilliant morning sunlight was slashed by a more brilliant white flash. It was so strong that the crew of the Superfortress Enola Gay felt a "visual shock," although all wore sun glasses...

Astrophysicists argue mildly among themselves about what its incandescent elements are (perhaps calcium, hydrogen, helium). The corona gives off a strange light, differing from sunlight and visible only when the sun's rays are blotted out by the moon...
