...point, the President, looking tanned and cheerful, decided to go all the way back to the grass roots. Braking the car, he leaped out, plucked handfuls of Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylori) from a field and nuzzled the blades as if they were orchids. "Look at that," the President cried jubilantly to reporters. "Isn't that the thickest grass you've ever seen?" Of course. Lyndon planted...
...Lennon yells, "Ringo, sing famous Beethoven's famous Ninth Symphony." Bond's deadly Aston-Martin becomes a Mr. Whippy truck that leaves a trail of thumbtacks, and Alligator's camouflaged House of Parliament--a parody of a parody--becomes the Kaili's sacrificial temple, brought from the Orient to Bermuda...

If he aborted the flight now, the astronauts would land in the Pacific recovery area where there were no helicopters within reach. At 18 revolutions, the spacecraft could splash down southwest of Bermuda, in the primary recovery area. The flight director called in his engineers, conferred with top NASA brass. Pride and prestige were involved; no manned U.S. spacecraft had ever failed to complete its planned mission. But Kraft, as ever, was the cool and deliberate flight engineer. He used every available moment...
