Casper, 53, assistant director in charge of training and a 31-year veteran, announced his early retirement; he is the fourth man to resign from the top FBI ranks since Hoover's death.

Exposing Microbes. Other scientific work on the 3½-day return journey went more smoothly. At a distance of some 174,000 miles from earth, Mattingly emerged from the cabin to retrieve cassettes of film from Casper's scientific equipment bay. During the televised "space walk," Mattingly also exposed a small container holding some 60 million microbes-bacteria, fungi, viruses-to the direct ultraviolet rays of the sun. From the test, scientists hope to learn whether intense ultraviolet radiation, as well as other conditions encountered in spaceflight, has any genetic effects on microorganisms...
