...enough to pin it on you." With justice, Scotsmen boast that their school system (which teaches the Scottish slant on British history) is superior to England's. The true Scot scorns such English institutions as cricket and fish and chips, preferring a hip-twisting Scottish reel and finnan haddie simmered in milk, which he compares to the finest French cuisine...
...Under his fuselage, in an inverted V, hung twin 38-ft. booms; between them, trapeze-fashion, stretched a nylon rope and a grappling hook with which Mitchell hoped to foul the cords of Discoverer's parachute, snag its canopy. Winch operators would then take over, reel the dangling capsule into the plane. At 12,000 ft. Mitchell made a pass-and missed by a breathtaking 6 in. The parachute continued its float down.

But no matter how hard she strained her right forearm's flexor muscle, the chain began to reel out link by link, letting the weight down. Dr. Hellebrandt, in the harshest voice she could muster, snapped: "Hang on to it!" Marilyn's face was contorted in what is officially recognized as the "agony phase." She could only gasp, "I can't," and let the weight drop...
