...most cautious and experienced pilots have been known to make just such errors. Example: the St. Louis crash that killed Astronauts Elliott See and Charles Bassett. Pilot See, having missed his first pass at the runway, told the tower that he planned a second instrument-landing approach in his T-38 jet trainer. He inexplicably continued to fly a visual pattern and made a wide turn just below the overcast, ran into a patch of fog, apparently lost orientation, slammed a building-and just barely missed demolishing the room where all the space capsules for the next four Gemini flights...
...other gubernatorial candidates, four besides Lurleen have a chance of surviving the first primary round on May 3. They are former Governor John Patterson, a rabid segregationist, and three moderates: Attorney General Richmond Flowers, former Representative Carl Elliott and State Senator Bob Gilchrist.

Everything was bubbly as Funny Girl Barbra Streisand, 23, gave Husband Elliott Gould a loving buss backstage at Broadway's Martin Beck Theater after Elliott opened in a mock Sennett musical called Drat! The Cat! Then some of those cool New York cats-the critics-spoiled the party. They decided that, while Elliott was charming enough as a simple-souled cop who falls in love with a cat burglaress, they weren't so charmed by Librettist Ira Levin's pratfalling plot. As Mrs. Gould commiserated with her husband, the producers closed the play after...
