The shuttle, the launch of which was twice delayed due to weather and safety concerns, will also test new inspection techniques to prevent a repeat of the Columbia disaster, in which seven astronauts were killed when their craft burned up on re-entry...
...career-minded as it was artistically valid. Dylan mystified and promoted himself, inventing a biography that included being a seven-time runaway and a carny roustabout (he had done nothing of the sort) and putting his own name in his song titles ("Bob Dylan's Blues," "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream").
