Indeed, the birth of our modern "whole earth" consciousness can be traced to a single act of exploration: Apollo 8's circumnavigation of the moon and the astonishing photo--Earthrise, that vision of a little blue planet--that it sent back...
...foremost of these is his willingness to lead America to embrace massive tasks that he sees as morally worthwhile.

Not that you can tell. Extravagance is the order of the day, with Venetian crystal chandeliers, Victorian-style wall sconces, beaded lamps and gilded mirrors abounding in a space richly bathed in crimson, gold and black.
