...scientific criteria used in some NASA decisions have also annoyed some scientists. Take, for example, the compromise choice of cameras used on the Apollo lunar flights. Early unmanned Ranger. Surveyor and Lunar Orbiter craft had taken over 106,000 photographs of the moon, and NASA claimed the Apollo flights would provide photographs 10 times better than these television images. Some cartographers argue that the Hasselblad camera used on Apollo missions has no such capability. It is perfect for propaganda shots in Life magazine and fine for geological work on the moon, but it is too small to provide enough detail...
...among 900 boilermakers, two among 625 elevator constructors, and only one among 400 glaziers. Industrial unions sometimes have separate lines of promotion and seniority based on race. Nepotism, though on the wane today, has long been the principal way to gain admission to scores of union locals.

Two such matching pairs exist to test the sweep and sinew of an actor's craft: Marlowe's Jew of Malta and Shakespeare's Shylock, Marlowe's Edward II and Shakespeare's Richard II. The last actor to play the two Jews on successive nights was Eric Porter at Stratford on Avon in 1965. Now, for the first time since 1903, the two kings are being doubled in repertory by an English actor named...
