...that could have been stiff upper lip. Even as colleagues on the ground rehearsed procedures that cosmonauts Vasily Tsibliyev and Alexander Lazutkin must undertake to fix their troubled station, Russian commentators candidly admitted that the damaged part of the station could be a Pandora's box. Rammed by another Progress on June 25, Mir's Spektr science module suffered a foot-long tear in one of its sail-like solar panels and an inch-wide breach in its hull, depressurizing the interior. To keep the rest of Mir's precious atmosphere from spilling as well, the crew hurriedly sealed...
Ennis Cosby wasn't just shot. His corpse, with a bullet wound in the left temple, was found face up with a split but virtually unswollen lip.

But TIME's Bill McWhirter notes the move is mostly cosmetic since it doesn't address the problem at the plant level. "All we've seen is a whole lot of lip service," McWhirter says. "By itself, simply changing the guard at the top is not coming down to dealing with some of the real fundamental things which need to be done on the shop floor.
