His new application was supported by a letter from Griswold arguing that procedures by which Rose was initially denied admission to the Colorado bar were "seriously defective."

That, at least, is what most Americans have believed for the past six months. Last week NASA revealed the chilling truth: at best, the crew of the doomed shuttle knew, if only for a few seconds, that something was terribly wrong. At worst, they remained conscious for two minutes and 45 seconds, until the crew compartment, still largely intact, smashed into the Atlantic...
