Very nice 1944 article on M&D & the Venus Transit (article which mentions to
my surprise the star Fomalhaut, the ship in Against the Day; and also: "The
only report from the Western Hemisphere was made from St. John's,
Newfoundland, by Professor John Winthrop of Harvard College who had been
sent to this post by the Colony of Massachusetts Bay").
