Salinger, Sly Stone, and Bettie Page, to name but a few — who shone brightly for a time, then retreated into quieter, humbler lives, leaving us fascinated and wondering what became of them.

This toilet separates urine and poo-poo at the source. The nutrients in urine can be then recycled for such purposes as fertilizer. And the other sewage can then be transported to waste treatment facilities where actually can be used to produce power rather than consume it.

Starting next year, he started taking photos of famous Americans, and produced The Gallery of Illustrious Americans in 1850.
