...jobs. In the lead is Florida, which has rocketed ahead 95%-fueled by Cape Canaveral's missiles, by chemicals, and by carloads of tourists. After Florida, the heaviest percentage growth is in the nation's southwest quadrant. Texas with its petrochemicals, military bases and white-collar industries, California with its missiles and electronics plants, and Florida now account for one out of every six nonfarm jobs. Five Rocky Mountain states (Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Nevada) all advanced at more than twice the national average, "not only because of defense installations such as Los Alamos," explains Wolfbein...

...Horse-Collar Rescue. Whatever the cause of the mishap, the next few moments were hectic. One helicopter tried to snap up the Liberty Bell 7. The second could not come too close to pick up Grissom because of the rotor blast of the first. So Grissom swam 25 yards to a calmer spot, where the second helicopter lowered a "horse collar" and lifted him out of the water. Hurried back to the Randolph, he made his first remark seconds after stepping aboard: "Give me something to blow my nose. My head is full of sea water...
