...Flight 85 cockpit crew were checked out only for domestic flights. Pilots Richard Hastings and Billy Williams, both 24-year veterans at TWA, volunteered to go along. Minichiello allowed them aboard, but suddenly he got jumpy. He fired a warning shot, which ricocheted harmlessly off an emergency oxygen bottle on the cockpit ceiling. Then Minichiello insisted that the jet take off at once. Trailed by a small plane full of FBI men, it flew northeast to Bangor, Me., to take on fuel for the ocean crossing. Again Minichiello passed the word through Cook that only the fueling crew...
...wounded on both sides, flashed onscreen like a kind of post-game scoreboard. Additionally, an all-star cast is recruited to man the planes and give some faint semblance of life to the statistics. This presents its own problems, however: once they are airborne and covered with goggles and oxygen mask, it is impossible to distinguish between any of the actors. A possible solution for future projects: the flight helmets should have the names of the performers, rather than their characters, stenciled across them. One could then immediately tell the difference between Caine, M.; Plummer, C.; and Shaw...
...tanker full of DDT were to be broken up in a storm tomorrow, the way so many oil tankers already have been, that DDT would be enough to slow the photosynthesizing micro-plants of the oceans. These plants produce ninety percent of the oxygen in the atmosphere. In as much time as it took us to breath the remaining oxygen. It would all grind to a halt once...
...Most people assume that on the Judgment Day God will appear above the clouds shortly after sunset and announce, "Well, guys, this is about it worldwise." The end of the world is actually much more likely to see its 6 billion people choking for three weeks on the fleeting oxygen in the air, and wretching with discase from the rotting corpses. Many kooks and nuts will rise to brief power during these final weeks. The New York Times will stop publishing...
...International Union of Pure and Applied Physics in Budapest, a scientist from Australia announced that he was "99% sure" that he had actually found a quark. British-born Physicist Charles McCusker, 50, reported that his team of investigators had apparently spotted the elusive particles among the wreckage of atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen atoms smashed when they were struck by cosmic rays hurtling down from space...
