Still, it was the pictures, not the words, that counted most. Les Midgley, who for some years produced the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite, is convinced that had the space shuttle Challenger flown only a few miles farther and then exploded off-camera, the story would have created far less of a sensation. The image of white plumes scattering in a giant Rorschach pattern is now engraved on every American's brainpan.

...from M.I.T. (1916), an M.I.T. associate professorship in chemical engineering, 90 patents for petrochemical inventions, 120 scientific papers. But even more winning was his impact on other men. Presenting him with the Society of Chemical Industry's Perkin Medal in 1943, American Chemical Society President Thomas Midgley Jr. couldn't help recalling an 1895 picnic in Beaver Falls, Pa., where both he and Wilson were born.
