Almost immediately after the hone call. Biosjoly determined 100 percc[\t probability of fail­re" due ro the 0-rings lack of erformance in cold tempera­ires. Biosjoly illustrated to the udience that "the rubber 0-

Biosjoly Canaveral and the senior manage­ment at \lorron Thiokol would change this unanimous decision.

At the end of the phone con­,·ersauon. a \ ote was taken whether or not to launch. A sub­ordinate at Morron Thiokol present for this con\'ersation \\ as asked to "rake off his engineer­ing hat and put on a management hat " Biosjolj adds sarcastically, "No pressure at all." The out­come of the \'Ote was four votes ro launch ,·ersu. none. Biosjol) responds to this \'Ote bv saying, "You cannot make this \\'Ork just because you hope it."

Since the launch \\'as "rhe largest public relations event since the man on the moon," Biosjoly and colleagues opposing the launch were rold the} were "'screwing up the launch schedule ...

"Within rwenty-four hours \!ASA knew what happened." Biosjoly reports. When asked to testify in the months to follow, Biosioly jumped on the opportu­nitj. Since he had rold rhe truth and supported it with documen­tation, uch as a logbook and copies of memos, "managers, colleagues, and A A branded him 'whistle blm\·er'". He was "isolated form the re-design [and] treated [him] as if he had leprosy."

Since the trial, Biosjoly has found much pleasure in owning his own business; Biosjoly became a forensic engineer out of his hou e. However, in 1996, he had ro "give it up because of medical condi­tions ...

Regardless of the conse­quences of telling the truth, Biosjoly says that he gave "no thought to losing his career ro stop the launch ... it never crossed his mind." Biosjol) stressed to

Frequently, upperdassmen be­come so engrossed within their de­partments thar they don't find the opportunity to meet new people. Donnelly said that based on what she has learned from the experi­ences of past Peer Leaders, "the best part is getting to know the freshmen so well and establishing those friendships where rhey feel the) hm·e made a positive difference in the li,·es of the freshmen"

On rhe flip side of that , Donnelly said that the hardest thing, "is watching a freshman who you may like and you know is very bright, move closer and closer to failing the class be­cause rhey miss classe and/ or don't do the work, regardless of how yo u try ro help them. Learning to let them "go" and rake the consequences of their act ions can be really hard."

. Thom Harm man defines fas­as. ''A system of government xercises a dictatorship of the

r or those on this side of the debate, Americans have an excel­lent opportunity to regain our lost fame around the world as freedom fighters. We could sho\\' the citi­zens of I raq and other countries what it means to be free, and how to use the tools of democracy to

non-violently make change. \'\'hen Americans learn how to use the tools of democracy that our fathers fought for and died for, instead of the tools of war, then we can confi­dently spread democracy through -

out the world. There are always citizens who

see problems emerging within their government, and it's absolutely es­sential for those people to speak out. Half of the people killed by fascist Germany were those pro­testing the administration's actions.

It was our little secret, a springboard for her unique talent. The charac­ter suddenly sprang to life as I im­bued it with 1istidawn 's spirit. I could hear her speaking the lines and I could sec her acting the part as I wrote. There \\'as a life and a punch that was totally Mistidawn.

Send the bro­ken-homed. tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door ... " My husband came to me with the news. "Oh no," I said, "it can't be Mistidawn, she's to young, she's too alive." I had just seen her days be­fore. She had asked how the script was going and I told her I was al.most finished. I can't be­lieve she never got to see it.

I sh ut down the computer and wept.

For days I pondered what to do with the secret we shared. The an­swer came at her memorial service, and this was no ordinary service. Misti.dawn touched so many people's lives in all kinds of ways. The church was filled to overflowing, not only with those wanting to remember her but with Mistidawn's spirit. There was a tremendous presence of peace and love that seemed to ooze out of nowhere, and everywhere. It was an experience that I find hard to articulate.

As we said our final goodbyes to Misti that day (gone but cenai.nly not forgotten), I found myself stand­ing next to the person who was clos­est to Mistidawn, her Mochei: I told her that Misti. and I shared something special and chat rd like to talk to her abour it. Several weeks later, I had the opportunity to tell her everything. I felt char I needed her consent.
