He was lis- tenirg to flight controllers, reading off altitude and velocity numbers — and only occasionally glancing at the television screen that showed the as cending shuttle. Suddenly he heard the flight sur geon exclaim, “What was that?” “I knew instantly this was terribly wrong. But I had not seen the initial part of it. All I saw was this white cloud and two (solid rocket boosters) SRBs. “But I didn’t see a shuttle.” Nesbitt said he didn’t want to speculate about the fate of the astro nauts and the orbiter at that instant. “I just had this belated look at the television screen, which is about like looking through a pipe — you don’t see the whole sky.” The three short sentences Nesbitt ad-libbed were replayed endlessly by the nation’s TV and radio networks: “Flight controllers are looking very carefully at the situation. Obviously a major malfunction. We have no downlink.” To many, those words were a be wildering understatement. In hind sight, he said, he doesn’t think he could have done anything different. Nesbitt, 37, has received a promo tion at JSC — from public affairs specialist to deputy director of the media services branch — and Dis covery may be his last flight as a commentator. “1 requested to be able to do this launch,” he said. “It would givemea feeling of having come full cirde. Not ending my career as a commen tator on tnat mission (Challenger) would really mean a lot tome." He’s certain he’ll be tense Thurs day morning, pacing and drinking lots of coffee during the couple of hours before his job begins. “I’m always nervous for launches, but I think I’ll be even moresofor this one,” he said.

Ill tfn Jury finds mother guilty of letting boyfriend kill son L HOUSTON (AP) — A Pasadena woman was convicted Wednesday of injury to a child by omission after a jury found she allowed her boyf riend to kill her 5-month-old son. Jurors in State District Judge Mary Bacon’s court took less than two hours to convict Reba Annette McFadden, 22. She now faces up to life in prison. McFadden testified Tuesday she didn’t take her son to a hospital be cause her boyfriend, Chance Saun ders, 17, threatened to blame the in jury on her. Prosecutor Jan Krocker showed jurors pictures of a raw wound on the back of Darrell McFadden’s head. McFadden said she thought the festering sore was caused by cra dle cap. No evidence of the skin condition appeared in official pictures taken Oct. 17, when the baby died of a skull fracture. The mother said the cradle cap had cleared up two days earlier, but the injury remained. “I think the evidence is conclu sive,” Grenas said. “Even experts, even the police department did noi see something which raised their suspicions. If they couldn’t see them how could she he expected to see them. She had explanations and according to the state’s own medical examiner those explanations were reasonable.” Defense attorney Xavier Grenas said his client was threatened Saunders. by Saunders was convicted injuneof killing the child and sentenced to 15 years in prison al ter witnesses testi fied they saw him squeeze the in fant’s head in a store Oct. 2. Boy with no hands learns to bowl BROWNWOOD (AP) — Shane Wood is 10 years old. He’s in the fifth grade, does well in his studies — and what’s more, he’s learning to bowl. Ordinarily, neither is a big deal — that is unless you have no hands. Shane was born without hands. He has learned to live without them, with the help of protheses provided for him by physicians at Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas. With that help, Shane has always mastered what his peers have done. Dana Perry, Shane’s mother, says her son is independent and has never complained or considered himself “different.” He has been going to Scottish Rite since he was two months old, being fitted with various types of pros- theses as he grew. “He’s not depen dent on them, but uses them when it becomes necessary,” Perry said. But when Shane wanted to learn to bowl, he found none of the pros- theses he had were suitable for bowl ing. With painstaking care, he wrote to his physician. Dr. Tony Herring at Scottisn Rite, asking if he could get a prostethic attachment that would enable him to bowl. The hand-written letter itself was a triumph for Herring, who has worked with Shane and delighted in his progress ever since the boy began treatment at Scottish Rite. Two months after Shane wrote the doctor, his bowling prothesis was Dallas. ready for fitting in Dal The bowling ball he uses has one hole to accomodate the prosthesis. “When he went to the bowling alley without his prosthesis he puthisarm in the hole and knocked over several pins,” Perry said. “Physicians and staff at Scottish Rite are always looking for ways to make things easier for Shane," Pern said. “When he started the first grade, the physical therapy depart ment made nim a special pair of scis sors that he could use. Now he doesn’t need them because he can use a scissors like anyone else.” Before he started kindergarten, Shane spent a week at Scottish Rite so staff members could train him to hold pencils, cut, color, and any- ne needed to do in a class.
