Project Mercury was the first human spaceflight program of the United States. Though for awhile over-shadowed by the Soviet space program which beat America into space, first with Sputnik and then with the first man in space, Yuri Gargarin, it proved its worth by the end of its run in 1963.The program's astronauts, the Mercury Seven, established the image of the American astronaut for decades to come in the United States.

Toni Ortner's Daybook III, Morning Is Long Since Gone infuses her inner life's dreamscape, her singing tree with realities that scream over the land.

She writes in a minor key, for love, for life, with apocalyptic images that disturb and surprise. Listen, as Ortner's waves rhythmically wash over us, like murmured prayers trapped in frozen rivers, crossing borders into a metaphysical disturbance in the field. She invokes: Is this what it means to grow old,To fold space around you like a cloak.Terry HauptmanAuthor/Poet of On Hearing Thunder, The Indwelling of Dissonance, and The Tremulous Seasons, a triptych of poetry books from the North Star Press

HEATHER CORBALLY BRYANT just knew she had to follow in the steps of her grandmother, trail-blazing journalist Irene Kuhn. After all, she grew up listening to the stories of her grandmother, and Irene never let Heather forget that a woman's place was not in the kitchen or by her husband's side but in the forefront of adventure as a writer. Like her famous grandmother as well as her mother, Rene Kuhn, Heather was a natural.Heather's reimagination of her grandmother's life in glamorous and exotic Shanghai of the 1920s is fascinating in its detail which closely follows the real events of Irene's career and of her momentous meeting with Heather's grandfather, Bert Kuhn. It's not only a memoir of the stories Irene told Heather, but it is the touching story of a fiery passion between fellow adventurers and journalists which ultimately resulted in tragedy as well as great happiness. Read You Can't Wrap Fire in Paper and you will see that the title is appropriate. Irene Corbally Kuhn was not a woman to be subdued but she was like any woman captured by the fires of obsession and love.To be strong their love had to be more than paper. PROLOGUE BY HEATHER CORBALLY BRYANT IRENE CORBALLY KUHN, my maternal grandmother, and I are standing outside the Hotel Vancouver in late June of 1981. It is a rare sunny afternoon and we are returning from a cruise to Alaska, her graduation present to me. She is eighty-four years old, still writing, and I am twenty-one, a month past my Harvard commencement. For my grandmother, the trip is one of hundreds she has taken. For me, it is a continuation of our long and close relationship starting with the summer I spent living with her when I was three.I have grown up on tales of her travels, but this is the first trip we have taken together. Along the way, we have talked about her unwavering conviction I must be a writer, her memories of being a foreign correspondent covering the world, but most of all, we have talked about China and how much she misses it. We have just finished lunch and are walking around the gardens of the hotel. My grandmother's deep chocolate eyes are focused on a sight far off in the distance, a place I cannot see. She stands tall, at five feet six inches, wearing heels higher than I have ever worn. Her sense of fashion owes much to her days as a reporter for the Paris Tribune. She is wearing a navy blue dress, tucked in at the waist. The only time I've ever seen her in slacks, as she called them, was when we jumped rapids outside Juneau.After a few minutes of quiet she speaks, "Here," she says, "Here is where my life ended."I say nothing in response; I have been trained to let her emotions pass."Here," my grandmother repeats, "here is where I lost everything."Although I have heard many times about her beautiful life in Shanghai in the 1920s, her whirlwind marriage to her first husband, Bert Lewis Kuhn, the birth of my mother in Honolulu nine months later, Irene's departure to the States to visit family, and Bert's subsequent and mysterious death at the age of 30 in China, I know few details.I do know that my grandmother keeps dried eucalyptus in a blue and white vase in her Greenwich Village apartment; the smell, she says, reminds her of Shanghai after the rains.On a small table she keeps a black lacquer box decorated with children chasing butterflies carved in colored jade. I peeked inside once. The box is full of musty papers, layers of envelopes with Chinese stamps held together by fraying rubber bands. My grandmother told me to close the box; she said the contents were very important, but that I was too young to understand them.

The 319th in Action, recorded by Lieutenant William B. Monroe who later was a commentator for Meet the Press, was compiled by a member of that famed group of WWII aviators, Harold E. Oyster, and his wife, Esther M. Oyster Queneau. It records the daily routine and exploits of this marvelous and courageous group of men. Much of their actions is taken from the daily journals maintained during World War II.The 319th Bomb Group fought all three World War II Axis powers (Italy, Germany and Japan) and participated in two major theaters of war, the Mediterranean (MTO) and Pacific (PTO). They flew three different aircraft into battle: the B-26 Marauder, the B-25 Mitchell and the A-26 Invader and developed a reputation for bombing accuracy. The Group received two back-to-back Presidential Citations for bombing the Rome and Florence marshalling yards without damaging any historical or religious edifices. General de Gaulle cited them with the Croix de Guerre avec Palme for outstanding support of the Allied offensive in Italy. This effort was not without a price. Casualties occurred and 328 men were killed.Harold E. Oyster (439th Squadron) with the support of his wife, Esther, and family knew the uniqueness of this group's endeavor and wanted to document its place in history. Through their perseverance they were able to complete the first edition in 1976, making The 319th in Action available for that first reunion held in 1977 that the Oysters had worked so diligently to organize.The joy of 25 years of reunions by the survivors renewed that uncommon comradeship that is a result of combat and lives depending on one another. That spirit seemed to permeate the pages of this book for our descendents and history buffs. The reunion attendees were keenly aware of the fallen whose lives were told in the stories exchanged but weren't there to listen. If this book serves no other purpose, let it be a tribute to those who gave their all.
