A week later, Borman and Crewmates James Lovell and William Anders were chosen TIME'S Men of the Year. Yet Borman soon learned that man does not live by glory alone. In 1970, the onetime fighter pilot, then 42, joined Eastern Air Lines as a vice president with vaguely defined duties. "People thought I was going to be some kind...
