THE FIRST JAMES BOND FILM! HARRY SALTZMAN and ALBERT R. BROCCOLI PRESENT TECHNICOLOR Author Ian Fleming's James Bond was a product of 1950s Britain, a period that marked the height of the Cold War, the transition from postwar austerity to a culture of affluence and the start of the slow decline of British power. On the other hand, the cinematic Bond transformed Fleming's conservative figure into a hero for the swinging sixties, emphasizing glamour, espionage and Bond's womanizing. Sixty years ago, Dr No, the first of twenty-seven Bond movies, opened at the London Pavilion on October 5, 1962. The film starred Sean Connery and Ursula Andress.

TIM PAGE was one of the most charismatic personalities among a corps of Vietnam War photographers whose images helped shape the course of the war. His work was notable for its raw drama and its intimacy with danger, the product of the risks he took to immerse himself in combat. In The Vietnam War: An Eyewitness History (1992), Sanford Wexler wrote, “Page was known as a photographer who would go anywhere, fly in anything, snap the shutter under any conditions, and when hit go at it again in bandages.” Page, a model for the wild, stoned photographer played by Dennis Hopper in Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now, died August 24 at his home in New South Wales, Australia. He was 78. Page published a dozen books, including two memoirs and,…

Imagine a bright-eyed, inquisitive fiveyear-old watching her father knock down his concrete silo with the lightning rod on top of it on their dairy farm in 1976 because he no longer milked cows. The silo preserved fermented feed for the animals. As he does, the heavy silo crashes to the ground with the rod, but the white milk pleated round glass ball decorating the rod does not shatter.

That was the moment that piqued Susan Summerfield of Maryland, a middle school math teacher's interest in lightning rod balls. But it was not until 1990 when…
