POPSCharlton Heston Dies At Home With His Wife Lydia By His Side
And the common mistake, even of the Old Bolsheviks, was to suppose that following a set of principles was better following fashion. Those who wonder whether Heston had wandered off should ask themselves whether Martin Luther King, had he lived, might also have remarked to the nation's First Black President that ''America doesn't trust you with our 21-year-old daughters, and we sure, Lord, don't trust you with our guns.'' After all, King was a Republican and nobody remembers that either. April 6 (Bloomberg) -- Charlton Heston, the Oscar-winning actor who played some of the most famous roles in Hollywood history including Moses parting the Red Sea, Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel and Ben-Hur driving a Roman chariot, has died, his family said. He died at home with his wife of 64 years, Lydia, by his side, his family said late yesterday. The statement said he was 84, while the New York Times reported his date of birth as Oct. 4 1924 and age as 83. bloomberg.com

POPSCat Flight A Possibility? A study at Bristol’s rest of England University has taken the possibility of cat flying from the realms of Galileo’s used tissue to a real possibility and the clearly excited research team at URE have been running up and down the corridors, stamping, shouting and pointing up at the clear blue sky. “It’s a real breakthrough.” said professor Glynn Martin who has been leading the team since May 2007. Professor Martin went on to show slides(see diagram above) demonstrating velocity, arc, wind speed and the now much talked about ‘rolling patterns’ which appear to be part of the new science which has helped this project leap so gracefully forward. It seems that if a feline subject is ‘rolled’ soon after launching it can achieve a trajectory far in excess of that previously obtained when no rolling has been used.
