...message. In one, a dark hand shakes and holds onto a white hand, and a voice asks, "All things considered, that's not very much, is it?"

A commercial produced for the Episcopal Church shows a man switching channels from catastrophe to catastrophe on his TV set.

Three astronauts, Pruett (Richard Crenna), Stone (James Franciscus) and Lloyd (Gene Hackman), have been in orbit for five months. Deterioration of reflex and temperament have set in so markedly that the two can deliver only muted snuffles back to earth. "Return!" comes the order from Charles Keith (Gregory Peck) at Mission Control. But the retrorockets misfire.
