While we're on the subject, I noticed in Time that the New York Times 
failed in its attempt to get the tapes of the Challenger's final moments
released, with NASA arguing that the privacy of the astronauts' families
demanded that they be kept secret.  I'm curious; have the families 
actually said this?  I recall that in the immediate aftermath, at least
one family was attempting to get them released for use in a suit against
NASA.

I don't particularly want the tapes released, but I'd like to know that
there was an honest transcript.
