“The magnificent jet propels air safety to new heights, yet accidents still occur. Records show that takeoff and landing remain the critical phases of flight. One long-range solution is increased automation. A Lockheed TriStar touches down ‘hands off’ at Palmdale, California; a time exposure by a remotely operated camera attached to the aircraft’s vertical tail fin blurs city and runway lights."
—From "The Air-Safety Challenge," August 1977, National Geographic magazine
A Penan girl looks to the canopy as she gathers fruit in the forest. The forest homeland of the Penan is full of food for them. It is in the government settlements they are being led into that meals are scant.

"The glow of an atomic bomb test at Yucca Flat, Nevada, 65 miles [104.6 kilometers] away, draws Las Vegas casino workers on March 17, 1953. [National Geographic magazine's] Sam Matthews watched from a tarpaper-lined trench just two miles [3.2 kilometers] from the explosion. 'The atomic fireball rose in the sky, a giant sphere of orange and black, tongues of fire amid billowing soot,' he wrote. Though this photo was probably shot for his June 1953 article 'Nevada Learns to Live With the Atom,' it has never before been published in the magazine."
