It was sad to see Tex near the end sometimes slurring his words as if he were at least moderately drunk. And, I have in my hands right now a genuine 1967 Uncle Weathbee's Weather Almanac , with the following words heading a mini-article on page 6: A Nuclear Adventure... at Flushing Meadow! You take your seat in the nuclear-powered time transporter. You're in New York City (but it's called New Amsterdam)... and the year is 1660. You see the City as it was then. Time moves forward... through the centuries to the present. But only for an instant. Then on to the 21st Century and a full view of New York City in an age of nuclear power. Then, once more it's back to today to see how a nuclear reaction takes place. You look inside a detailed scale model of a nuclear reactor... go step by step through it to see how the atom works to produce useful power. And that's only one of the new exhibits now in the Hall of Science at Flushing Meadow... former site of the Word's Fair. In addition to Con Edison's Nuclear Adventure , there is the Little Red School House , where young children are introduced to the excitement and fascination of scientific investigation. Another exhibit shows the value of space work in communications, weather forecasting and navigation. Modern communication techniques are seen in still another exhibit. Atomsville, U.S.A.- for children only - offers opportunities to prospect for uranium, operate a reactor, and perform experiments with remote mechanical hands. At Rendezvous in Space you'll see a simulated meeting of full sized space vehicles, including an exciting 26 minute movie starring Danny Thomas. And there's more! So visit the Hall of Science... see all the exciting exhibits. (in 1967 I was in love with Marlo Thomas not Danny Thomas) <g> Can you believe how naive and excited they were about the future prospects for nuclear power back then? Unbelievable when compared with today's reality!
