40 Years Ago...


....the crew of Apollo 13 safely returned to Earth.

Back then, America could not only send men to the moon, we could figure out how to get them home when catastrophe struck. Damn, but we were good back then.

America always needs heros, even when things go wrong. We seem to be out of the hero-making business these days, unless you're a politician (Barack Obama and Sarah Palin come to mind) , or the winner of American Idol.

So it goes.
