A black and white photo of Jacques Vallee, longish dark hair wearing a dark sweater, at a makeshift terminal with a large monitor about three feet in front of him, typing at a desk. Another terminal behind a cubicle wall can be seen behind him and to the left. The legend says, "Fig. 5: Working on Arpanet's first Network Information Center, Stanford Research Institute, 1972."

$A young man with tall hair stands on an outdoor patio in front of many bare trees; a tower can be seen behind the tree line and the young man is adjusting a rectangular solid-shaped telescope. The caption reads, "Setting up a double refractor in Pontoise, about 1957."$
