Mendez’s Tehran rescue and Hollywood PR ploy in 1980
Mendez organized an audacious Iran hostage escape by posing six Americans as staff of a fictitious Canadian movie unit Studio Six to flee Tehran on January 28, 1980. Earlier, in 1997 CIA historians revealed the operation after decades of secrecy, tying it to Studio Six ads in Variety and Hollywood Reporter and a staged plan tied to the film Argo. Nearby, Brad Garrett faced paparazzi in Los Angeles when TMZ photographer was slapped at close range.

Lincoln’s lopsided face examined by laser scans and experts
Laser scans of life masks reveal Lincoln’s left side was unusually rounder and thinner, a defect debated by historians. Experts note public mockery and possible reasons from kicks to developmental issues, while comparisons to 1860 and 1865 mask sittings show political motives behind the likeness. The project pairs Dr. Fishman and Dr. Da Silveira with artifacts at Chicago History Museum.
