Cof L49, couple historical miscellaneous bits NOT related to book's "stelliferous meaning'.

[Mark Kohut]

p. 82 hc. "Negroes" serving. It was 1968 when msm newspapers, mags and then books stopped using the word Negro, and began use the word black. [source: 1968 by Kurlansky]. For some years before that, many African-Americans would refer to themselves, in conversation, as blacks. [source Pictures at a Revolution, by Harris]. It was the Black Power era. [MLKjr asked Stokely Carmichael to use the phrase Black Equality. He would not.]

p. 83 Galactronics: Thunderbirds TV series 1965-2004. Each of the 24 episodes cost $1500000 to produce and the cast included full size aliens & robotics Anderson called "galactronics."  [unless TRP saw an early show and got the word Galactronics from it]
