Trip 16 was at 13,000 feet. The radioman heard her turn south and begin the prescribed letdown procedure to get under the ceiling. Few minutes later she was overhead again, now at 9,000 feet, headed north and flying out her problem as she had done scores of times before. Few minutes later Howard Fey made his last call. He was over the Layton marker, 18 miles north of the field. The operator knew his next move would be a turn to the left, into the "A" Zone, a swing back on the beam, an easy letdown from...

A middle-aged staff surgeon, wiped out in the crash of a big firm of drugmakers, commits suicide. In the operating room Surgeon Cavanaugh performs a "radical breast removal" in a state of jitters. (Six of his last nine cases had died.) The crisis comes when the lights go out. As they come on again he is suddenly his old self again.
