For the 1973 total solar eclipse in Africa, I (JMP) went with the National Science Foundation team to Kenya, leaving Menzel with the EEI (Educational Expeditions International)\u00a0team and National Geographic support, and our student Don Cooke \u201975, to Mauritania:<\/em><\/p>\n

From Anne Wheat, Menzel\u2019s granddaughter:<\/p>\n

I was 15.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fun hearing him counting in this African ’73 Eclipse video on YouTube.<\/p>\n

I was also in Costa Rica!<\/p>\n

He told us lots of imaginary stories when we were little about the future, computers, and pushing buttons! He would have loved the technology we have today!<\/p>\n

Also, Google \u201cConcorde 1973 eclipse\u201d for YouTube videos of that flight for 74 minutes of totality<\/p>\n

\u2018Work\u2019 Review: Foraging for the Good Life
If the inventions of the technological age save us labor, why do we work more than our\u00a0ancestors?

“In the 1950s and 1960s, it was still possible to study Kalahari Bushmen groups that lived largely by foraging. A\u00a0retired American engineer, Laurence Marshall, who participated in the development of radar and pioneered the\u00a0microwave oven, made eight expeditions with his family to remote Ju\/\u2019hoan communities in Namibia. His wife,\u00a0Lorna, and his daughter, Elizabeth, carried out ethnographic studies. His son, John, made a classic film of\u00a0Bushman hunters. Their research documented an extraordinary ethic of egalitarianism and sharing. Bushman\u00a0bands had no permanent leaders. People moved in and out of the local band as it suited them. But it was\u00a0imperative to get along with the neighbors. \u201cThe worst thing is not giving presents,\u201d one informant told Lorna\u00a0Marshall. \u201cWe give to one another always. We give what we have. This is the way we live together.\u201d”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mr. Marshall was a friend of Prof. Menzel\u2019s, and came with Menzel and me to Mali in August 1970, reconnoitering ahead of the 1973 total solar eclipse. \u00a0We went at least to Bamako, Mopti, and Agadez\u2014where he advised on how to take gerrycans of gas when we were driven into the desert 100 miles or so to the north\u2014though this trip convinced us that we could NOT supply an eclipse expedition for the 7 m 4 s of totality that was to occur there.<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
