If the engine had cut off during one crucial 30-second interval of the scheduled burn, Apollo would have been left in an unstable orbit and crashed into the surface of the moon. And, if the astronauts had not succeeded in restarting the engine after orbiting the moon, they would have been left stranded in space without hope of rescue.

But Cleaver, who disappeared in late November when his parole was revoked, failed to show up. That left his wife and five friends holding a verv empty bag. They have guaranteed Cleaver's $50,000 bail, and unless he emerges within six months, the money will be forfeited. As the FBI continued its search for Cleaver, the Internal Revenue Service entered the act. The IRS filed...
