...heard to say, "O.K." Outside, the heat shield glowed red-hot as the temperature rose to 3,000° F. The astronauts were enthralled. "The prettiest part of it all is re-entry," said McDivitt afterward. "We saw pink light coming up around our spacecraft. It got oranger, then redder, then green. It was the most beautiful sight I have ever seen." At 100,000 ft. the blackout ended, and McDivitt's voice came through. "We're five-by-five up here," he said, meaning that he and White felt fine.

...automakers, hardest hit by the recession, last week gave out the bad news for the third quarter. Ford reported a loss of $21.6 million, bringing the deficit for nine months to $16.2 million, v. $229.5 million profit in the same period last year. Chrysler's ink was even redder: its third-quarter loss of $20-million pushed the loss for nine months to a total of $45.2 million, v. a $103.6 million profit in 1957. Studebaker-Packard, which lost $12.4 million in the first nine months of 1957, lost $22.5 million through this September...
