Shirley Temple, R.I.P.

Shirley Temple Black  died this  Monday.   I was most interested in her as a Congresswoman initially,  but she is one of very few child stars who not only  wasn’t destroyed  by her early fame,  but actually went on  to do  useful things with her life.

Water on Mars?

I don’t find  this particularly  persuasive,  but you have to admire the scientists so desperate to find real evidence of water on Mars.
