About the author Art Buchwald (1925-) is a well-known American humorist and journalist. He writes a political human column that appears daily in hundreds of newspaper across the United States.

Some of his well-received columns have been collected and reprinted in book form. 2. Venus Venus is the second planet in distance from the sun and nearest to the Earth of all the planets in the solar system. Except for the sun and the moon, Venus is the brightest object in the sky. The planet is called “the morning star” when it appears in the east at sunrise, and “the evening star” when it is in the west at sunset.
