Archibald MacLeish was not only a well-known poet but also served as 
Librarian of Congress, appointed by Franklin Roosevelt, a position he 
used to reorganize and promote the institution. In addition to winning 
three Pulitzer Prizes, MacLeish was commissioned by the NEW YORK TIMES 
to write a poem to celebrate the Apollo 11 moon landing, which he 
entitled "Voyage to the Moon" and which appeared on the front page of 
the 21 July 1969 edition of the paper. (#020303)        $200
