...best interest as well as the public's that all the facts should come out." The Cleveland Press, reviewing the questions left unanswered by Ted's police station statement, declared: "The public is entitled to a better explanation than it has had yet." For all its smooth carpentry, the television statement did not dispel most such doubts and questions. The New York Times, which had begun its coverage in a mild and reticent way but gradually stepped it up in intensity, ran an editorial under the headline STILL A TRAGEDY AND A MYSTERY. Said the Times: "His emotion-charged address...
...flight was smooth, so was the landing-except for a brief moment after splashdown, when Columbia was capsized by 6-ft. swells. But it was quickly righted by large flotation bags, or balloons, released from its submerged...

The theme of a box-like object or set whose dark exterior contains a bright space inside returns later in exteriors of the cafe which seem Expressionist: the hero wanders through the shadow-filled darkness barred from light...
...module into a trajectory that would send it smashing back onto the lunar surface. Had the LM achieved an orbit with an apocynthion (high point) much less than 50,000 ft., Columbia would have been unable to reach it.

Control failures could cause the spacecraft to re-enter the earth's atmosphere at too steep an angle and burn to a cinder, or at so flat an angle that it would bounce...
...Medical students are ball bearings-smooth, round, all alike and never creating friction." So said an admissions official at a New York medical school a few years ago. There are still many aspiring physicians who are politically conservative and personally conformist and whose overriding concern is the second Cadillac. This summer, however, as many of the nation's 35,000 student doctors begin summer programs or internships, there is friction aplenty, and a new, rough-edged type of student activist is very much in evidence...
