The winners and the losers

• Winner: The headline in this paper correctly said his 100th birthday today would go as unnoticed as he was himself, but Utah native Philo T. Farnsworth deserves better than that. He was the inventor of television, but his work became obscured by greedy and wealthy competitors who co-opted what he had done.

• Loser: We can all sympathize with people who misplace something important. But NASA's misplacing of 13,000 original tapes of the Apollo moon missions is difficult to understand. These are high-quality images taken aboard the spacecrafts, not the grainy pictures that were beamed back to Earth, and they are treasures that belong to history.

A NASA official was quoted as saying the tapes aren't lost. He just doesn't know where they are. Sounds familiar. As anyone who can't find the car keys will tell you, they are probably in the last place he will look.
