ATOMIUM - o símbolo da cidade.
O Atomium (Átomo), desenhado pelo engenheiro belga André Waterkeyn, é o símbolo da cidade. O emaranhado de gigantes esferas de metal foi construído para a Feira Mundial de 1958. Com 103 metros de altura, o Atomium representa uma estrutura atômica ampliada 165 bilhões de vezes, com tubos que ligam as 9 partes formando 8 vértices. A visita incluiu a subida à esfera mais elevada, num elevador que, à data da sua construção, era o mais rápido da Europa, subindo cinco metros por segundo. Inclui ainda a visita a cinco outras esferas por escadas, algumas delas (poucas) rolantes, atravessando os tubos, a fazer lembrar uma viagem espacial. Para subir, têm que galgar 80 degraus, para descer são 185!
As esferas de ferro com cerca de 18 metros de diâmetro estão ligadas por tubos com escadas no seu interior com um comprimento de cerca de 35 metros. As janelas instaladas na esfera do topo oferecem uma vista panorâmica da cidade. Outras esferas têm exposições sobre os anos 50 e restaurante. As três esferas, às quais só se tem acesso por tubos verticais, estão fechadas ao público por razões de segurança. Estima-se que pese 2400 toneladas, naturalmente, sofreu grande envelhecimento, que obrigou à realização de obras de renovação que decorreram entre 2003 e 2006. Ao lado do Atomium, está a “Mini-Europe”: do Big Ben aos canais de Veneza, uma “maquete” dos principais pontos turísticos da Europa.

I found this in a thrift store and it reminded me that Dad had this album. I remember him playing it for me in the 1980s - which I guess was far enough away from JFK's death that it wasn't taboo anymore. We even put it on cassette for a friend of his. And Dad didn't dwell in the past, but he'd occasionally pull out these old albums and play them for me and tell me about them. he had lots of these 1960s comedy albums that he played in high school and college. I remember this one and The Fire Sign Theater in particular. I have always been described as an old soul, and I am culturally aware about things long before I was born. I suppose I spent a lot of time with my parents and adults and older people. Some of it is politeness - I'd get stuck with people's grandparents and they'd tell old stories which I'd patiently listen to. my friends would just ignore them and go and run around in the parking lot. Now I wish I had that time again and listened even more.
A few years ago I was reminded of this album when Mom Rocca did a Mobituaries special about Vaughn Meader - the JFK impersonator. He apparently had a rough upbringing but found fame doing a spot-on impersonation of JFK. He was a hot item until Nov 22 1963 when his career ended. According to Mobituaries he never could get a decent acting gig. And like America, he was traumatized by the assassination and never could do the impersonation again. I believe he begrudgingly did it once on TV but felt terrible. His life was tragic and he sank into alcoholism and obscurity and died. And while JFK was probably, no more moral than politicians today the public was shielded from their behavior - which wasn't a good thing. I would argue that JFK was not the dove he was often fetishized by Oliver Stone and others. In action he was a WWII vet and Cold-War era hawk afraid of Communism and the atom bomb as everyone else. His actions and policies were containment of the Russians at all costs including all the skullduggery of the 1960s in Latin America and South Asia, culminating in the beginning of Vietnam.
Johnson inherited the problem which was really begun by Colonial France refusing to give French Indochina autonomy after they helped defeat the Japanese. My reading shows that Ho Chi Minh was hardly a hard-core communist but a pragmatist who found support in Russia - who was happy to arm them and spread their communist ideals. Imagine what might have happened if France had treated Vietnam as a fellow victor in WWII - instead of a subjugate colony? Just as we bear the fruit of WWI in the Middle East in the 21st Century. French and British victors carved up modern day Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Palestine, Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia etc... after promising them autonomy in exchange for fighting the Germans and Turks. The imposition of minority rule in most of these places has led to decades of war and the rise of Islamic fundamentalism. Only the utterly economy-shattering destruction of WWII would force the colonial powers to finally relinquish control of these countries and those in Africa and South Asia drawing a direct line to everything from the wars in Africa to the never-ending turmoil of the Middle East. And pun-intended, the insatiable thirst for oil and the embarrassing wealth of it in Saudi Arabia has made us wedder partners in all of it, never being able to walk away.
So, JFK was a symbol of the last optimistic moments of post-war America. Oswald's bullet ended it violently in Texas, also tearing off the band-aid exposing the reality of racism and inequality that was the true undergirding of America. Had JFK lived I don't believe he'd be as sanctified as he is. He after all only served 3 years, and there is no reason to think he'd not have pushed Vietnam because the South Vietnamese government, corrupt, ineffective, was perfectly content to let the sons of that generation of WWII vets fight and die. But this is speculation.

The TBWHA Red Wings were crowned Atom Champions today! They captured the title by beating the TBWHA Esso Tigers in the best of 3 series (4 points to 2).
Mighty Atom 1331 found 1664 and we tried to convince him that he is far too young to taste this liquid. But being a Robot, it doesn't matter (that was his argument). So, he enjoyed it very much.
Mighty Atom 1331 encontró a 1664 y tratamos de convencerlo de que él era demasiado joven para probar este líquido. Pero siendo un Robot, no importa (ese era su argumento). Asi que lo disfrutó mucho.
