SEARCHING FOR HOME

In 1918, New York photographer Lewis Hine—already known for his haunting portraits of Ellis Island immigrants and child laborers—arrived in Paris. He’d been hired by the American Red Cross to document its European relief efforts. In the waning months of World War I and after the armistice, Hine traveled through France, Belgium, and the Balkans shooting the shattered continent. He photographed this young Serbian refugee in the town of Grdjelitza. Text accompanying additional Grdjelitza photos by Hine notes: “With not even a roof over their heads, these families were finding their way back home on foot from northern Serbia where the Austrians and Germans had sent them to produce food for the enemy … When these people reach home, it will not be home, but simply ruins.”

TYWKIWDBI: Mary needs sugar

“Exhaustion may be dangerous - especially to children who haven’t learned to avoid it by pacing themselves. Exhaustion opens the door a little wider to the bugs and ailments that are always lying in wait. Sugar puts back energy fast - offsets exhaustion. Synthetic sweeteners put back nothing. Energy is the first requirement of life. Play safe with your young ones - make sure they get sugar every day.”

The ad is dated 1966. It was aimed at your mother.

It was on this day in 1972 that astronauts on the Apollo 17 spacecraft took a famous photograph of the Earth, a photo that came to be known as “The Blue Marble” because that’s how the Earth looked to the astronauts. It was the first clear photo of the Earth, because the sun was at the astronauts’ back, and so the planet appears lit up and you can distinctly see blue, white, brown, even green. It became a symbol of the environmental movement of the 1970s, and it’s the image that gets put on flags, T-shirts, bumper stickers, and posters.

The crew of Apollo 17 was about 28,000 miles away from Earth when they took the Blue Marble photo. It was the last time that astronauts, not robots, were on a lunar mission — since then, no people have gotten far enough away from the Earth to take a photo like it.
