...continues to get more attention from the planet below him than all other shuttle astronauts, past and present, put together. The city of Perth in Western Australia, nostalgic about the night it lit up for Glenn?s Friendship 7 fly-by, decided to go one brighter.

Pulled down by the collapsing, technology-driven NASDAQ market, Pixar stock fell 5.7% last week, to close at $16.50, light-years from its November high of $49.50, signaling that the almost cartoonish rush of IPO investing is finished...
