Campbell’s photo appears to be on line as an EMT takes her pulse. Looks like she must have died instantly. I wonder if someone will take the photo down.

At 30:20 they start talking about linnaerg to see colors previously overlooked. Perhaps Tetrachromats aren’t using their range of vision because they haven’t established a category or storage slot in there brain.This reminds me of a comment Alex Kanevsky made to me. I heard some painters say he’s the greatest living painter in America. He has a great photo album on his Facebook page called “Philadelphia, The Most Beautiful City in the World”. Being from Philly and keyed into the wry sense of humor, plus having a cartoonist mind I would often make clever-ish comments on his photos. He told me, “You have to be quiet to let the beauty arise.” I thought that was rather profound. Likewise the above mentioned point in the show solidifies the notion that we can look at anything closely, quietly, intently for a long time and new more nuanced categories will likely reveal themselves. New storage slots may suddenly appear in brains and open up a new breadth of perception.

Oceana 41. Into the Night Land 42. Second Lesson Epilogue Note on the conntets. The book is a very curious mixture of fiction and non-fiction. Apart from the Foreword and the Epilogue, the conntets can be split as follows: – Chapters 1, 3, 7-10, 12-18, 20-33, 35-42 are fiction: leftovers, alternative versions, etc. that were supposed to be used in the writing of the novel but in the event were discarded. The only exception is the short story The Sentinel which was published as early as 1951. All other pieces apparently appear here for the first time. – Chapters 2, 4-6, 11, 19 and 34 are non-fiction. They mostly serve as links between the fictional parts. The early chapters are mostly concerned with the genesis of the novel and the movie in parallel. ========================================== If you have the same defect of character as I do, namely if Arthur Clarke’s classic science fiction novel (1968) is among the greatest experiences of your young adulthood, you should certainly read this book. First published in 1972, that is when the events were still fresh, The Lost Worlds of 2001 is a detailed account of the strange working relationship between Arthur Clarke and Stanley Kubrick during the 1960s which produced a novel and a movie that have become absolute classics; curiously enough, both were born during the same time and the adaptation for the screen was actually released first, whereas the novel appeared a little later on the same year. I daresay this book might be quite boring for those movie fans who don’t care for Arthur Clarke or his novel, but it sure makes an engrossing read for those who do the opposite. It contains lots of compelling and illuminating details about the origins of at least one masterpiece. Since there is in this book quite a bit about the movie, I have to make something clear in the beginning: the extravagant praise usually accorded to Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey I have always found frightfully perplexing. Now, I wish there was other say to say it, but there isn’t: the movie is perfect crap! What exactly its classical status rests upon is an absolute mystery for me. It is a visual tour de force all right, but that’s just about the only asset it might possibly have; except perhaps that some of its music is among the greatest ever composed; if, indeed, the movie has brought to more receptive ears the famous opening of Richard Strauss’ magnificent tone poem Also Sprach Zarathustra, that’s something; actually, this opening is famous more because of this movie than because of anything else, I think. As for the visual side, it is not nearly as impressive today as it must have been in 1968, of course, but it has aged surprisingly well. So much for the good sides though. For otherwise the movie is one failure after another. To begin with, a good many people have complained that when they saw it before the book, they didn’t understand the ending at all only later did the novel make it clear. This is as expected for the ending is an incomprehensible mess. What’s worse, the pace is appallingly slow imagine a spaceship landing that lasts for full ten minutes, during which you can appreciate Strauss’ famous waltz An der schf6nen blauen Donau, another musical masterpiece from the soundtrack; but even the greatest music cannot make the scene less tedious. The whole cast is downright horrible. Keir Dullea is as dull as a Dave Bowman as one could

Hey Pamela,

Thanks a lot for writing me. Sorry about the comments problem, I’ve had that happen before too, actually. I’ll let someone know to see if they can get it corrected.
As for the expiration green card, thanks so much for the heads up, and sorry that wasn’t clearer. I updated this in the article.

Thanks again,

Juliana

Hey, Juliana! Comments not working for me at Slate so leaving you a note here. Older “green cards” don’t expire every ten years, just the newer ones. Mine looks like the pink one in your article and was issued in 1979. No expiration date causes some bureaucratic hassles with people who have not seen the older ones, but it’s perfectly legit! Just thought you might want to correct the info in your article.

Cheers,
Pamela Wik
