LULU THE LOBSTER - A Cornish...

Christopher Allen

In Looe town where waters flow, Where East meets West as tides ebb and go, Lived Captain Jago, brave and true, With children dear, sweet Tegen and Lou. 
One golden morning, bright and fair, They sailed to check their lobster snare, The Jolly Lobster cut the foam, Far from their Cornish coastal home. 
The first few pots held usual fare, Brown lobsters caught with skillful care, But when they hauled the seventh pot, Something magical they got. 
The water glowed with golden light, A wondrous and amazing sight, Inside the pot, beyond compare, A lobster with shell golden-fair. 
Her eyes were amber, wise and bright, Her claws caught morning's gentle light, And then she spoke in voice so sweet, "I'm Lulu, pleased you all to meet." 
The children gasped in pure delight, At this most magical sight, A talking lobster, golden-true, Like nothing they had ever knew. 
"I've watched your family," Lulu said, "Since your great-grandfather's days," she led, "I've kept you safe upon the sea, A guardian spirit, wild and free." 
Captain Jago faced a choice, Between his heart and practical voice, This golden lobster, rare and fine, Could make his family's fortune shine. 
But Tegen spoke with gentle grace, "Papa, look at Lulu's face, She's not just treasure to be sold, But friend worth more than gold." 
Young Lowen added with a grin, "Let kindness and love win, Great-Grandfather would set her free, Back to her home beneath the sea." 
The children's wisdom touched his heart, And set his conscience apart, Captain Jago made his choice, Love would be his guiding voice. 
With gentle hands he held her high, Beneath the Cornish morning sky, "Dear Lulu, you must be free, To swim back to your deep blue sea." 
Lulu promised as she went, Her gratitude would never be spent, She'd guide their nets and keep them blessed, For choosing love above the rest. 
Into the sparkling blue ocean waves she gracefully slipped away, But her wonderful magic lives on today, In hearts that choose what's good and right.

Apollo 1 and the Space Shuttle...

Editors Charles River

As Apollo 11’s name suggests, there were actually a number of Apollo missions that came before, many of which included testing the rockets and different orbital and lunar modules in orbit. In fact, it wasn’t until Apollo 8 that a manned vehicle was sent towards the Moon and back, and before that mission, the most famous Apollo mission was Apollo 1, albeit for all the wrong reasons.  
There were no delusions regarding the dangers of manned space travel, but they were brought home on January 27, 1967, when all three astronauts were killed by a fire that ignited in the cabin during a launch rehearsal. To this day, there is still debate over what ignited the fire, but the disaster made clear that the modules being used by NASA had a series of fatal flaws. After the Apollo 1 tragedy, NASA changed its plans by first running a series of unmanned missions to test the Saturn rockets and the different modules throughout 1967 and early 1968. and it would not be until Apollo 7 launched about 20 months after the disaster that NASA dared to conduct another manned mission.  
	On the morning of January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger launched for the 10th time, beginning mission STS-51-L. Space shuttles had already successfully completed 24 missions, and no American spacecraft had ever failed to reach orbit during an official mission. On this mission, the Challenger was carrying a satellite for the Tracking and Data Relay Satellites system, which was to be deployed in orbit. The crew included Ronald McNair, who had already been the second African-American in space, and Ellison Onizuka, who had already been the first Asian-American astronaut in space. But the highlight of the mission was to be the “NASA Teacher in Space Project,” in which a civilian teacher would give teaching lessons to his or her class while onboard the space shuttle.

The Prince and the Pauper

Mark Twain

Originally published in 1881, Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper is a timeless tale of switched identities. After the young Prince Edward VI of England and a peasant boy switch places, the "little king" tries to escape from a world in which he must beg for food, sleep with rodents, face ridicule, and avoid assassination. Meanwhile, the peasant, who is now the prince, dreads exposure and possible execution-while members of the Court believe he has gone mad. As a result of the swap, both boys learn that social class, like so much of life, is determined by chance and random circumstance. Originally published in 1881, The Prince and the Pauper is one of Mark Twain's earliest social satires. With his caustic wit and biting irony, Twain satirizes the power of the monarchy, unjust laws and barbaric punishments, superstitions, and religious intolerance. Although usually viewed as a child's story, The Prince and the Pauper offers adults critical insight into a people and time period not really all that different from our own.
