...Them Out." When the cabin wall ruptured, escaping pressure sucked the flames across the astronauts-first Grissom, then White, finally Chaffee. Dense smoke and carbon monoxide rapidly filled the cabin. Though the astronauts suffered burns, it was asphyxiation that killed them. So intense were the heat and smoke billowing from the cabin into the "white room" near the craft that rescuers were repeatedly driven back and their gas masks, designed to protect against toxic fumes rather than smoke, were quickly exhausted...
...special treatment for "those stubborn few who don't like perfect martinis. We let you mix your own." On its Chicago-New York flight, United was gunning for the tired businessman, with a whole plane turned into a men-only compartment, where commuting executives are free to cuss, smoke cigars and relax in rumpled shirtsleeve comfort. For businessmen who do not want to relax, Braniff offered portable typewriters and Dictaphones. And for passengers with Klondike fever, Alaska Airlines was featuring Gay Nineties flights, replete with schooners of beer, red-velvet and gold-tassel cabin decor, stewardesses who wear ankle...

Bilbao (pop. 357,000) is a throbbing city of steel mills and shipyards, whose skies are darkened by factory smoke by day and glow with the fires of blast furnaces by night. It is also Spain's banking capital, the headquarters of two of Spain's five great banking chains. And its wide residential avenues, clogged with cars and lined with solid homes, attest to the prosperity...
...resemblance between Larry Mahan, 23, and the bowlegged characters who worked the oldtime rodeo circuit is purely coincidental. Mahan does not even know how to roll his own cigarettes. In fact, he does not smoke, or drink hard liquor. He shaves every morning, says "Sir" and "Ma'am," and occasionally wears a suit and a tie. He owns land in Oregon and a power sweeping company in San Diego; he is a partner in businesses in Arizona and Texas. Larry could be anything but a cowboy-until he climbs on the back of a bucking stallion...
