Lifting the veil on CORONA

Article Abstract:

The development of the US's first military satellite system, CORONA, shows that courage, patience, persistence and organization are essential for any space program to succeed. The development and deployment of CORONA during the 1960s is described. Its deployment helped the US gather information about the USSR during the Cold War. CORONA helped the CIA accurately estimate the strength of Soviet nuclear, chemical, biological and missile programs.

The do-it-yourselfer dealers

Article Abstract:

In the 1990s the impact of the stock market collapse ended the heyday of the NYC art gallery world. Many closed, leaving dealers such as Kenny Schacter to rent walls in homes or empty buildings to show the art. The revival was successful. Art is now more important than the walls upon which it is hung.
