	Why not the Scobee... or the Smith... or the Onizuka... or
	Resnik, McNair, or Jarvis.  To single out McAuliffe seems to
	me to be supporting the attitude expressed by John Glenn,
	that astronauts are different from civilians, (Because they're
	paid for taking chances? I don't know!) and thus civilians
	have no business being in space.  Poppycock.
