...Exit. The tragedy jolted NASA out of the complacency that had built up during the highly successful Mercury and Gemini programs, in which a total of 16 manned craft were sent into space, maneuvered and recovered without serious mishap. In a frenzy of self-doubt, NASA virtually tore up the Apollo program, shifted personnel, and clamped down hard on the procedures and workmanship of North American's Space Division, prime contractors for the Apollo spacecraft...

And just when it was near completion, Ruggles threw the score aside in a furious fit of dissatisfaction and abandoned it forever.

...about $3.60 a share. But the opportunities are not as splendid as they may seem-mostly because of the tendency of Japanese corporations to dilute the value of their stock by issuing huge quantities of shares. The 1,245 companies listed on the Tokyo exchange now have a total of 91.6 billion outstanding shares. Toyota Motor Co., the country's No. 1 carmaker, has 765 million-almost three times as many as General Motors...
