...search for the A-10 centers on New York Mountain, a rugged, 12,467-ft. peak in the central Rockies where several eyewitnesses reported seeing fires and smoke and hearing a loud explosion on April 2. Since then, though, several fresh feet of snow have been dumped on the already remote and snowy area, and search aircraft have been mostly grounded by bad weather. But even if the jet is found, some vital information will be missing: the A-10 carries no black box. Investigators may never learn why Captain Button did not radio for help--or why he veered...
Mike, who played with his two older brothers, became a basketball prodigy. As a senior at Shadow Mountain High, he averaged 34 points a game while leading the team to the state title. Genes have something to do with it--uncle Jim Bibby pitched a no-hitter in 1973--but be careful about declaring this a rout for nature over nurture.

PHOENIX: Rescuers are trying to make their way through fresh snow to the possible site of a crash of a missing Air Force military jet. Ever since Captain Craig Button's A-10 attack jet broke formation and disappeared over the Colorado mountains last week, loaded with 450-pound bombs, speculation has had it that the 32- year old pilot might have stolen the plane. New reports from skiers near New York mountain in the Rockies that they saw a black cloud and heard a loud noise are fueling rumors that the plane crashed there. The Air Force theory that...
