Following the crash of a sister Lunar Landing Training Vehicle at Ellington Field in Houston, Texas, the Bell LLTV (NASA 952) was sent from Houston to Langley for tests in the 30 x 60 Full Scale Tunnel. The LLTV was returned to Houston for further training use a short time later. NASA 952 is now on exhibit at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

More photos for that story - not sure if all of them were in the magazine (it should be easy on the Life website to find and link to all of them as well as find all the photos by any photographer as well as a bio - they should have gone with flickr rather than google)

This story mentions this cover at Potbelly's:
"Framed on the wall at Potbelly Sandwich Works is a Life Magazine cover depicting a college-aged couple holding hands in a loveseat, looking endearingly into each other's eyes with an alluring caption that reads, "Co-Ed Dorms: an intimate revolution on campus." The faded cover ran November 20, 1970, when college students were protesting an unpopular war and Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" was the top song on the airwaves. Now, nearly 40 years later, when college students are again protesting an unpopular war (though with less vigor) and Akon's "Don't Matter" dominates radio play, another intimate revolution may be hitting the campus.

Ads scanned from an old LIFE Magazine
January 1951 edition.
The pages were very brittle and dry and were crumbling during handling.
This concludes the 1950-1951 LIFE Magazine ads........
Back in the day these guys used to say to each other.."Smog?..Air Pollution?, that might be what you pantywaists call it, but all I see is, *cough* profits and, *cough* *cough* industry *wheeze* moving forward"!
“Scene, Anywhere Along the Coast” [Image caption]
Women in the early 20th century often wore corsets under their clothing, including bathing suits, to achieve the fashionable narrow waistline. Corsets were designed to cinch the waist and create an hourglass figure, which was highly desired during that time. This practice was common and contributed to the exaggerated waistlines seen in illustrations and photographs from that era.
Those extremely narrow waists achieved with corsets could be both uncomfortable and unhealthy. Many women of the time endured significant discomfort for the sake of fashion. Wearing corsets for extended periods could cause several health issues, such as:
•Breathing Difficulties: The tightness of the corset could restrict lung expansion, leading to shortness of breath.
•Digestive Issues: Compressing the stomach and intestines could cause indigestion and other gastrointestinal problems.
•Muscle Weakness: The support provided by corsets could lead to weakened back and abdominal muscles over time.
•Rib Deformation: Prolonged use of tightly-laced corsets could even deform the ribcage and displace internal organs.
Fashion has certainly come a long way since then, with a stronger emphasis on health and comfort today.

Over a thousand Chicagoans, from all walks of life and all parts of the city, came together at Millennium Park to perform "Crowd Out" by Davind Lang.
Although a bit chaotic in the beginning, once the leaders of each of the small groups that formed the whole got things in sync, it became a beautiful performance and a moving experience.
I came upon this event purely by accident and it took me a while to figure out what was going on.
Once surrounded by all these people, I was pretty much stuck, so you see some of the same faces over and over again.

ESCAPE FROM OBLIVION: A Moscow Correspondent's Memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis
[Kindle Edition] Donald S. Connery (Author)
Publication Date: September 25, 2012
Book Description
ESCAPE FROM OBLIVION: A Moscow Correspondent’s Memoir of the Cuban Missile Crisis is unique among the many books on the singular event in human history that almost ended human history. As one of the most-traveled of all Cold War reporters, Donald S. Connery has produced an extraordinary, highly personal eyewitness account of the frightening thirteen days in late October 1962 that brought the world to the brink of a thermonuclear war.
He reveals that the citizens of the Soviet police state, who were kept in ignorance about the crisis, remained calm while many Americans were in panic. He tells how Russians, “Americans in disguise” as he saw them up close in 1961 and 1962, believed that they were drawing closer to the U.S.A. even as Khrushchev defied Kennedy by carrying out his secret shipments of missiles in Cuba. A recent visitor to the new Russia, the author shatters the myths about who started the crisis and who was the victor.
Donald S. Connery, an independent journalist and author of six books, is a World War II veteran and Harvard graduate who roamed the world for TIME and LIFE magazines during the heyday of their influence in the early Cold War years. He has since pioneered in exposing the magnitude of wrongful convictions in America’s criminal justice system.

Sheikh Salman Bin Hamad Al Khalifa, ruler of Bahrain (r. 1942-1961) with the Bahrain government's adviser Charles D. Belgrave (1926-1957) at Manama Port (site of the present-day Bahrain Financial Harbour) Bahrain's only port until the opening of Mina Salman, the country's first modern deepwater port in 1962 circa May 1945.
(Charles D. Belgrave, was knighted in Queen Elizabeth II's first birthday honours list published in "The London Gazette" (Official Journal) on the 30th of May 1952, which explains the lack of the prefix Sir before his name in the above description, as in the rest of the photos taken of him prior to being knighted)
During Sheikh's visit, the state flag is flowing over Thornburg's house flag circa 1952.
(Sheikh Salman Bin Hamad Al Khalifa, ruler of Bahrain (r. 1942-1961) 2nd from the right, in a cordial conversation with Max Thornburg, American manager of Bapco (Bahrain oil company), as the ruler, is escorted to the launch by the latter after a brief visit to Thornburg's home on Umm as Sabaan island accompanied by his interpreter local businessman Hussain Yateem 1st from the right and the Bahrain government's adviser Sir Charles Belgrave who is keeping a respectful distance on the far left)
That's right Elephant, it's a family name, my grandmother is from Hungary...and it's a nickname with a baudy story behind it from my frat days at Alpha Tau Omega.
“She is the subject of more hostile criticism.” [Image caption]
This is a classic example of Gibson’s work, capturing social dynamics and gender roles of the early 20th century. The scene presents an intriguing contrast between the widow, who garners attention and admiration from the men, and the wives who appear to be critical or perhaps envious. The admiration the widow receives could provoke feelings of jealousy and insecurity among the wives. This scenario reflects the societal pressures and expectations placed on women during that era. The wives might feel threatened by the widow’s charm and independence, leading to their hostile criticism.
As for the widow's friends, it's possible that the title "A Widow and Her Friends" is somewhat ironic, highlighting the complexities and often competitive nature of social relationships. The term "friends" here could be seen as a commentary on how superficial and conditional these relationships can be, especially in social settings where appearance and reputation play significant roles.

The History Center at Sunken Gardens, St. Pete, included this LIFE Magazine cover of October 15, 1971. The opening of Disney World in Orlando was one of the most significant events in Florida’s history. Prior to that date, Orlando was a sleepy town in Central Florida, its local economy based mainly on citrus cultivation. Now the world beats a path to its door.
