No dust jacket present. Embossed Dust Jacket representing lunar surface. CBS Ephemera laid in with card from CBS President Richard W. Jencks. From foreword- at 10:56:20 p.m. EDT July 20 1969 man first stepped on the moon. It took place 238000 miles out in space yet it was shared by hundreds of millions of people on earth. The step on the moon was an awesome achievement; so was its reporting on television because it emphasized television's extraordinary ability to unify a disparate world through communicating with so many people in so many places and thus providing them with a common--and an extraordinarily satisfying--experience. Richard William Jencks 1921 – June 30 2014 was an American television executive lawyer former president of the CBS Broadcast Group and former member of CBS' board of directors. He retired from his position as Corporate Vice President of CBS in 1976. Jencks was also a former president of the Alliance of Television and Film Producers or ATFP which is now called the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. Jencks was appointed a distinguished visiting professor of communications at San Diego State University and was a founding member of the board of directors for the University of California at Berkeley Foundation. Jencks began appearing on a weekly radio opinion show called "2 Minutes with Richard" on KSCO when he was 85 years old and was frequently in demand as a speaker on broadcasting and other communication subjects. A Moon landing or lunar landing is the arrival of a spacecraft on the surface of the Moon including both crewed and robotic missions. The first human-made object to touch the Moon was Luna 2 in 1959. In 1969 Apollo 11 was the first crewed mission to land on the Moon. There were six crewed landings between 1969 and 1972 and numerous uncrewed landings. All crewed missions to the Moon were conducted by the Apollo program with the last departing the lunar surface in December 1972. After Luna 24 in 1976 there were no soft landings on the Moon until Chang'e 3 in 2013. All soft landings took place on the near side of the Moon until January 2019 when Chang'e 4 made the first landing on the far side of the Moon. Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc hardcover

Manuscript 21pp. 8vo edge of p.1 dusted ow all good condition Heavily worked on discussion of the issue of Capital Punishment a subject on which I feel so deeply so strongly so earnestly that I dare not trust myself to speak upon it without constraint". After many pages of reasoned argument examining all issues he concludes "On religious moral legal social & humanitarian grounds I beg to say that Capital Punishment is indefensible that it is wrong in principle that it is a perversion of reason that it is injurious in effect that it is blind blundering & cruel in its methods and that in all civilized countries it ought to be abolished." As the editor of the Manchester City News it would be reasonable to assume that this constituted a leading article at some time. This MS is accompanied by the following printed items: a. A printed invitation card in fact a postcard to a Public Meeting on 6 June postmark 1923 Cuming Walters named as one of those "supporters" of the main speaker The Bishop of Manchester; b. S.

98056501London 1894 ILN. Double sheet illustration very good a sketch by Mr. A.W. Wylde H.M.S. "Leander" shows a large Japanese military force disemparking from ships while Korean laborers unload Japanese gear. The lengthy caption below reads: "The transports came in at full speed dropped anchor & started disembarking the troops at once. Chemulpo harbour is very shallow & all but small craft have to lie a good two miles from the landing-place.The troops were conveyed ashore in Corean junks towed by a small steam-boat; they consisted ofabout 2000 men all infantry. Shortly after the arrival of the transports the cruiser 'Yayeama Kan' came in & anchored oputside them. The men fell in on the quay in good order without confusion. They were in heavy marching order & it is impossible to speak too highly of their equipment-they even carry binoculars. Everything they possess seems to be of the newest pattern; they are shod like English troops and carry a spare pair of boots; they carry the old pattern knapsack that the Prussian infantry used to-bullock-hide wit with the hair on-& are armed with magazine rifles. The men are smaller in stature but very sturdy; they did not appear to be in good spirits but the sea voyage might account for that; 10000 more are expected on the 11th including the Imperial guard accompanied by the Crown Prince as Major of Cavalry." Impressive suitable for framing & display. RARE. unknown
