KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Hurtling away from the clouds of smoke and steam, space shuttle Atlantis hurtles into the cloud-streaked sky on mission STS-122 to the International Space Station. Liftoff was on time at 2:45 p.m. EST. The launch is the third attempt for Atlantis since December 2007 to carry the European Space Agency's Columbus laboratory to the International Space Station. During the 11-day mission, the crew's prime objective is to attach the laboratory to the Harmony module, adding to the station's size and capabilities.

The Space Shuttle program was the United States government's manned launch vehicle program from 1981 to 2011, administered by NASA and officially beginning in 1972. The Space Shuttle system—composed of an orbiter launched with two reusable solid rocket boosters and a disposable external fuel tank— carried up to eight astronauts and up to 50,000 lb (23,000 kg) of payload into low Earth orbit (LEO). When its mission was complete, the orbiter would re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and lands as a glider. Although the concept had been explored since the late 1960s, the program formally commenced in 1972 and was the focus of NASA's manned operations after the final Apollo and Skylab flights in the mid-1970s. It started with the launch of the first shuttle Columbia on April 12, 1981, on STS-1. and finished with its last mission, STS-135 flown by Atlantis, in July 2011.

Declares at Civil Liberties Committee. Washington, D.C., March 17. Paul S. Litchfield, President of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, told the Lafollette Civil Liberties Committee today that while his firm recognized "outside unions" it kept an elaborate "company union" which is known as the "the industrial assembly", and it comprises an assembly and Senate, much as the state legislature. Acting in a capacity similar to a state Governor, the manager has power to disapprove assembly actions, he added
