>When the Naval Air Station at Moffett Field was slated for closure, Carol
>Henderson vowed that she would not allow its storied past to be lost. Two
>private donors, including Cisco Systems Inc. Chief Executive John Chambers,
>have stepped up to save the little museum. The museum has until April 15
>to bring the museum up to code. Henderson doesn't know when the repairs
>will begin; the historical society is waiting to hear from NASA exactly
>what work must be done.

>In 1887, the White Elephant was the scene of a gunfight between the saloon
>owner and the local marshal. These days, the Stockyards National Historic
>District is part of the heritage of Fort Worth. In the mid-19th century,

>The Portable Radio In American Life, by Michael Brian Schiffer, presents
>a detailed and well-researched history of the portable radio as used in
>North America. This 1991 book starts with the first tube portables of the
>Twenties and progresses through the eventual deconvolution of the radio

>The graves of at least 76 militia men stationed at Fort Strother during
>the Creek Indian War lie unmarked and unprotected. The small red flags
>placed by archaeologists near the old military cemetery have since turned
>white, bleached by weather and time. Promises have been made. But the graves
>remain vulnerable to scavengers, who have already tried to dig them up
>for artifacts that can be sold for profit.

>"Uplift: The Bra in America" documents the history of the bra in the 20th
>century. It brilliantly illuminates the moment in which American women
>loosened their stays literally and metaphorically. Uplift is about what
>happened next. It's a great topic. Bras exist at the collision point of
>health, fashion, commerce, culture, gender studies, and history. They are
>marvels of both engineering and artistry. For historians, they are a material
>and social artifact. For economists, they are a multibillion-dollar industry.
>For women, they are, like all of fashion, entertainment, self-creation,
>and everyday art. They are fun, with that naughty frisson of the secret
>and the hidden.
