Vaughan

1 Dorothy Vaughan was more likely to run into her former colleagues in the Langley cafeteria or the parking lot than to see them during the workday.

2 The whole street is stacked with buildings that have signs advertising famous singers and jazz bands like Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Cab Calloway, and Duke Ellington.

3 The end of the West Area Computing section was a bittersweet moment for Dorothy Vaughan.

4 Many of the West Computers, including Dorothy Vaughan, were members of Alpha Kappa Alpha, the sorority that Mary had pledged as an undergraduate at Hampton Institute.

5 The female mathematicians’ job security wasn’t immediately threatened by the machines, but Dorothy Vaughan perceived that mastering the machine would be the key to long-term career stability.

6 But over the July Fourth holiday in 1944, Dorothy Vaughan decided to convert her own status as a temporary resident of Newport News into something much longer lasting.

7 She had been elated simply to sit in the pool and calculate her way through the data sheets assigned by Mrs. Vaughan.

8 The older Vaughan siblings were adjusting to the changes that had expanded their lives in some ways and contracted them in others.

9 Partway through the story, it mentioned that Burt had boarded the train with Vaughan in Oklahoma City and was on the journey when Vaughan disappeared from his berth.

10 Pastor Dames continues, “Now, for the welcome you’re waiting for—ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, I introduce to you our musical guests for the evening, Billy Eckstine and Miss Sarah Vaughan!”

14 Dorothy Vaughan entered the Greyhound bus in one America and disembarked in another, no less anxious, hopeful, and excited than if she were an immigrant arriving from foreign shores.

15 Perhaps Vaughan, blind to his friend’s machinations, had mentioned the investigation that he had been pursuing and confided the location of the hideout containing his money and evidence.

16 And when Uncle played the albums Cecile had left behind—the ones with piano, bass, drums, and smooth-voiced Sarah Vaughan—in my mind, smoke still filled the house.

17 His playing of Vaughan Williams The Lark Ascending evoked such emotion the audience was spellbound.

他演奏的沃恩·威廉姆斯的《云雀高飞》让观众如此痴迷.

18 History would prove them all right: there was no one better qualified for the job than Dorothy Vaughan.

19 “Effective this date, Dorothy J. Vaughan, who has been acting head of the West Area Computers unit, is hereby appointed head of that unit.”

20 Rosa Vaughan’s suit against Burt, who was represented by one of the same law firms that had represented Hale in the murder trials, was initially dismissed in state court.
