From the New York Times:
Aug. 13, 1969: “Data processing cards joined ticker tape in paper blizzard,” read the caption on this photograph, which was published the day after the three Apollo 11 astronauts paraded through New York. The Sanitation Department cleaned up 300 tons of paper the following day. Mayor John V. Lindsay had urged employers to give their workers time to watch the motorcade. The city’s public events commissioner said the turnout was “the biggest ever in the history of New York.” Another article quoted an 8-year-old from Connecticut. “There’s a lot of confetti down there,” he said, “but I don’t see any astronauts.” Photo: Jack Manning/The New York Times
A great reason to get to New York before March - the Jim Henson’s Fantastic World exhibition.

- Jim Henson believed that television and film could be used in a positive way to shape the thoughts of children and adults. He populated the neighborhood of Sesame Street with characters such as Bert and Ernie. Credit: Photo by John E. Barrett. TM & © 2007 SesameWorkshop. All Rights Reserved.
- Henson created his award-winning television series, Fraggle Rock, to help promote understanding and tolerance.
