Weather Turnaround at WS
The weather at White Sands underwent a complete turnaround tonight,
and workers rushed back to the area where the Columbia is parked.
Now, instead of delaying Wednesday's takeoff to KSC until Friday,
officials say they might even make it by Tuesday. If weather holds,
the tail cone could be assembled and attached by tomorrow night, and
the shuttle could be hoisted on the 747 Sunday or Monday. Officials
won't know until Monday when the takeoff will occur.

In other news, Bruce Murray, director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory
for the past six years, has announced that he will step down from that
post at the end of this year. No new director has yet been named.
