Whatever went wrong, it was more than Kennedy could handle. New radar data released Monday showed that the plane dropped toward the water at 4,700 feet a minute ? 10 times faster than the normal rate of descent.

...violin cases were stacked against the walls of the gym at Central Park East I elementary school, and their young owners, ages 5 and up, formed neat rows on the basketball court. They shifted nervously, awaiting their cue to enter the packed auditorium. "When you get onstage, fix your feet and your bows!" yelled Roberta. "Who do you watch? Your mother...
