  The distinction between the real positions of moving objects in a single
reference frame and the apparent positions of objects at rest in one inertial
frame and viewed from another, as predicted by the space-time Lorentz
Transformations, is discussed. It is found that in the Rockets-and-String
paradox the string remains unstressed and does not break and that the pole in
the Barn-and-Pole paradox never actually fits into the barn. The close
relationship of the Lorentz-Fitzgerald Contraction and the relativity of
simultaneity of Special Relativity is pointed out and an associated paradox, in
which causality is apparently violated, is noted.
