Understanding Tornado Intensity with the Fujita Scale

Preacher No, that was a good size twister. What was it, an F-3?

Bill Solid F-2.

The Complexity of Love and Magic

Robbie Every little thing would set her off. The drugs probably didn't help. Electroshock therapy probably didn't either. She would fall in love with men, telling them that they were soul-mates, only to have affairs with her co-stars and cheat on every man she ever told she loved. But there's something about her that's just — that's just magic.

Jim Lovell Ken Mattingly's been doing some scientific research regarding that very phenomenon, haven't you, Ken?

Ken Mattingly Uh, yes, well, I had a black cat walk over a broken mirror under the lunar module ladder. It didn't seem to be a problem.

Fred Haise We're also considering a letter from a fella who said we oughta take a pig up with us for good luck.

Reporter 1 Does it bother you that the public regards this flight as routine?

Jim Lovell There's nothing routine about flying to the moon. I can vouch for that. And, uh… I think that an astronaut's last mission, his final flight, that's always going to be very special.

Reporter 2 Why is this your last, Jim?

Jim Lovell I'm in command of the best ship with the best crew that anybody could ask for, and I'll be walking in a place where there's 400 degrees difference between sunlight and shadow. I can't imagine, uh, ever topping that.
