Our Look Back Memorial Day Special: When we were working on the Titanic Transmissions Monograph , spent some time in Jeff Hull's studio, where he had all these great drawings hanging on clothesline. Jacob took pics, I put them in a slide show, filmed that, put music too it, and posted via Blogger.

It is a thrust fault traversing Lee Lincoln Scarp (a ravine named as some ode to Civil War equivalency?) where Apollo 17 set down. The author of a NYTimes reports writes:  ''The moon’s thrust faults are a sign that the whole or...

The horses crossed the finish line with Maximum Security capturing a victory. But within a few minutes came great uncertainty. This was a Kentucky Derby like no other.
