...Saturday saying they have both been "active" Jehovah's Witnesses for more than 20 years. Air Force officials say it is more likely that the plane or its pilot was disabled in some way--by a bird hitting the cockpit canopy, for instance, or by a malfunction in the oxygen supply, which might have caused Button to go in and out of consciousness...
Last year, at about 1 p.m. on the 10th of May, Jon Krakauer, on assignment for Outside magazine, plodded toward the 29,028-ft. summit of Mount Everest. Sucking a lean mixture of bottled oxygen and air that only partly made up for the dire thinness of the atmosphere, he managed a single step to three or four heaving breaths. To his oxygen-starved brain, the world beyond his rubber mask, he writes, "was stupendously vivid but seemed not quite real, as if a movie were being projected in slow motion across the front of my goggles.

...Pregnant women, steer clear of smoke. Exposure to PASSIVE SMOKE--even small amounts--can significantly increase the odds of giving birth to a baby whose lungs don't function properly. The damage begins in utero when chemicals from cigarette smoke cause less oxygen to go from mother to fetus...

Mir has undergone a worrisome stretch of technical foul-ups lately, ranging from an overheated living module to the explosion of an oxygen-generating canister. While the Russians insist everything is under control, NASA does not share their confidence: if the problems continue after Linenger's return to Earth in mid-May, the U.S. space agency says, it won't send up another American to work with the Russian crew.

Finch, an accomplished pilot with 20 years of experience flying and restoring historic aircraft, will make 30 stops in 20 countries during her 2 1/2 month trip, including Egypt, Greece, Pakistan and Australia. While the plane's cabin will remain unpressurized without oxygen tanks, technology will provide a safety margin to help prevent a duplication of Earhart's failed 1937 journey. Flint will use global positioning satellite technology to pinpoint her location, VHF radio communications to expedite landings and take-offs and an in-cabin computer to communicate via e-mail with school children following...
