...door, stepped off the chair. Hinckley, 26, hung for several minutes before a frantic marshal could climb an exterior wall and reach through a window to cut him loose from outside. For the next half-hour Hinckley lay on his cell floor, blue-faced and convulsive for lack of oxygen, before firemen using a hydraulic bolt cutter could get through the cell's bars. Again the loser had been unsuccessful: two days later Hinckley was in satisfactory condition in the base hospital, watching TV. But the possibility that he had suffered brain damage was not ruled out. Says...
...minus-nine minutes, a slight drop in liquid-oxygen pressure was detected in the huge 526,000-gal. external fuel tank and in one of three oxygen tanks carried aboard the orbiter. Flight Director Neil Hutchinson at Mission Control in Houston stopped the countdown and consulted other technicians. The problem did not seem serious. Pressure in the tanks could be adjusted by warming the oxygen with on-board heaters. Ground computers guiding the launch were instructed to ignore the pressure drop, and the countdown continued...

While mission flight operations rules dictate a minimal mission of 54 hours when only two fuel cells are working, the Columbia could still operate the full duration of its planned 124 hour, 83-orbit mission, a spokesman for United Technologies, which manufactures the cells, said yesterday...
...coroner's jury of three blacks and three whites spent a month listening to 100 witnesses. The cause of death, the jurors concluded, was an interruption of the oxygen flow to Lacy's brain due to pressure applied to his chest and to a nerve in his neck. Their ruling last week was the most severe one allowed.

...precision of Colbert's timing would make a watch blush. Her role is that of a hugely successful writer of mystery thrillers and the owner of $15 million worth of paintings. In one wall is a camouflaged walk-in vault that can snap to and be drained of oxygen in 17 seconds. Don't bet that it won't be used...
