Shuttle
From page one
The countdown for the start of the five-day orbital flight had come in 31 seconds after the first manned mission.
Engineers tried twice to resume the count-
er of the minus-31-second mark, but the
process did not work.
The problem developed after the astronauts had received a weather clearance. Heavy clouds moved over the launch site, but astronaut John B. Kobrenski and another team, cape, reported that conditions were acceptable.
Then the final countdown troubles developed. They were the first significant difficulties in a small project.
The five-day, 83-orbit mission of Engle and Truly was to prove the shuttle's worth as a reusable orbital truck and work platform. Never before has a spacecraft been returned to orbit.
Engle and Truly put on their pressure suit helmets and both climbed aboard the two-level cabin of the Columbia. Both were in by 4.17 a.m. on the floor of the ship with handguard control ceilers $3 \frac{1}{2}$ miles away.
the astronauts were awakened at 1:40 a.m. in
their special Kennedy Space Center quarters.
Wearing blue flight suits, they had the
conditionist breakfast, steak and eggs, and
a homemade pasta with coleslaw after getting a quick update on launch stall.
As they ate, their 184-food spaceship, gleaming white in the glare of powerful floodlights, was nearly filled with 528,000 gallons of supercold liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen.
The Columbia was to fly into a 138-mile-high path around the globe that will give an $11.6 million assembly of natural resource scanners and mapmakers to build a bread view of the lands and seas far below.
Not only is the Columbia loaded with its first working cargo, it is equipped for the first time with the new Canadian mechanical arm that will be used on future missions to unload satellites.
The success of the shuttle as a satellite launcher, beginning next fall when it carries to communications satellites, hinges on test results on the 5F-foot arm.
"If successful, and I'm sure it will be, it'll very quickly add a new dimension to the orbiter's environment."
Engle, a 49-year-old Air Force colonel from Abilene, Kane, and Truly, a 43-year-old Navy captain from Fayette, Miss., were headed for their first flight into orbit. But both are veteran shuttle pilots. They flew the prototype Enterprise on landing tests four years ago.
"On the first flight you’re scared you’ve made a mistake." "Truly said in a pre-launch interview. "On the second flight you just have to understand your machine."
Flight director Tommy Holloway at the mission center control in Houston said he and his colleagues were "a little less excited this time" since the Columbia performed so well on its first flight.
Space buffles began lining prime viewing sites outside the confines of the sprawling Kennedy Space Center last night and by early morning, the best spots were jammed.
The launch was delayed twice earlier by a fuel spill and other problems, but the flight preparations of the last few days had gone without a hitch. Officials said repeatedly it was much smoother than the first time—up to the countdown failure in the final seconds.

"A radio is for inmate safety and my safety, too." Blairck said.

"How can you maintain security when you can't let anyone know what's going on?" The
The prison atmosphere has been tense for too long. Blalock said, and dangerous situations could erupt at any time. The tension, and security problems brought to attention by the September escape attempt and the guard murder, have prompted prison workers to call for higher pay and better conditions at the prison.
Ed Barrick, head of the prison employees, said yesterday that the firing of Blalock and Becker was "probably a show of force to stop our movement."
AT THE MOMENT, however, Blalock said he was not concerned with changes in the prison system. He said he only wanted to be reinstated and would not raise his position, removing the stigma of being fired.
"I've never even been written up or anything out there." he said.

Commission
"It's very important to have three alternatives," he said. "However, when we get to a developer's competition, let's not load the dice automatically reject any of the alternatives."
BUT THERE STILL were some objections to the commission's structuring of the plan.
Barbara Waggoner of the Citizens for a Better Downtown said that the enclosed cluster of retail shops in the third alternative could be a real existing retail shops on Massachusetts Street.
"I hope there is not a developer out there that we say, 'We've got you now,' and jump for the app."
But the commission has maintained that the three options were necessary to make the decision.
If the plan is approved by the planning commission, the selection of a developer would be the most important.

A MEALY-MOUTHED RESPONSE TO MURDER
Last April one Arthur Payton, a mental patient twice acquitted of murder by reason of insanity, escaped from the Fulton (Mo.) State Hospital and assaulted two persons. Three days before his escape this killer had been given privileges to walk freely in the compound. Will this sociopath claim yet another victim before his recapture? If he does will each additional hemicide of which he is guilty be regarded as just further proof of his insanity?
Black's *Law Dictionary* admits that insanity "is a social and legal term rather than a medical one." Section 4.01 of the *Model Penal Code*, a creation of the American Law Institute, is one of what Black's *Law Dictionary* describes as "various tests used by the courts to determine criminal responsibility, or lack thereof, a defendant who asserts the defense that he or she was insane at the time of the crime." Section 4.01 says: "A person is not responsible for criminal conduct if at the time of such conduct as a result of mental disease or defect he lacks substantial capacity either to appreciate the criminally (wrongfulness) of his conduct or to conform his conduct to the requirements of law." Under the "irresistible impulse" test a person may be insured regardless of the nature of his right, right and, fully aware of the nature and quality of his acts, provides that he establishes that he was unable to refrain from acting." Further investigation reveals that a person adjudged insane can still experience a lucid interval—a "temporary restoration to sanity," d. during which he is completely restored to the use of his reason" a cetera.
"In a criminal case, the accused's guilt must be established 'beyond a reasonable doubt' which means that facts proven must, by virtue of their probative force, establish guilt." Yet in an insanity defense, as the above references make clear, the defendant need only persuade the court that "at the time of such conduct . . . he was unable to refrain from acting" in a criminal manner. Now a test, by definition, is a procedure or technique designed to confirm, negate, or objectively measure a statement of some kind. As no test yet exists by which an individual's sanity (or insanity) can be objectively determined, Black's Law Dictionary in referring to Section 4.01 and the 'irresistible impulse' definition requires that the defendant be acquitted of a criminal trial or lack thereof. They are, instead, claims of the defendant which, when preferred, are considered by the court. Each judicial decision which honors such a claim is based on a wilful rejection of the available evidence and its relationship to conscious choice, e.g. the victim or corpse, the mode of execution, and is hence nothing more than an exercise in speculation.
