ied in the Westerkerk, but the location
of his remains is unknown because he
had no money for a tombstone," Willem
Van Stigt, the architect supervising the
restoration project, said in a graveside
interview Monday.
'Titus' grave seems as logical a place
as any other," Van Stigt said. Rem
brandt survived his son by one year,
dying in 1669 at the age of 63.
"It would be nice if we would know
for certain where Rembrandt's grave is
located so many tourists are asking
for it," added Philip Korthals Altes, an
Amsterdam stockbroker and the chair
man of the church's fund-raising com
mittee. Currently, only a marble plaque on
the Westerkerk's north wall commemo
rates Rembrandt.
Best-known for his monumental
"Night Watch," on display in the
Rijkmuseum in Amsterdam, Rembrandt
was a prolific painter whose innovative
use of light made him one of the out
standing representatives of the 17th
century Dutch school.

Rockets mow private Sodustiry
From Associated Press reports
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. An
era ended Monday with the last NASA
launch of an unmanned rocket from
this spaceport, where responsibility for
sending payloads into orbit is being
turned over to private industry after
400 liftoffs in 31 years.
An Atlas-Centaur vaulted skyward
at 4:56 a.m. with a $125 million com
munications satellite to link military
commands with land, sea and air forces
and for use by the president in times of
crisis.
From now on, when NASA needs an
unmanned rocket, it will have to buy
launch services from McDonnell
Douglas, General Dynamics and Mar
tin Marietta.
The space agency will continue to
launch manned space shuttles from
Cape Canaveral, where NASA got its
start and where it has launched nearly
all of its rockets.
The National Aeronautics and Space
Administration has one unmanned
rocket left for launch, but it will carry
its payload, a scientific satellite, from
Vandenberg Air Force Base in Califor
nia. The launch is scheduled for Novem
Long-lost wallet fished
From Associated Press reports
CONCORD, N.H. Robert Howley
has a fish story to tell that even he didn't
believe at first.
Howley, 51, was reunited with his
wallet last week after a four-year sepa
ration. It was found in 30 feet of water,
200 yards off the shore of Lake Winne
pesaukee right where he had dropped
it in 1985 while trying to fix his boat's
engine during a fishing outing.
A scuba diver who was looking for a
light that had fallen off an antique boat
found the wallet.
Howley said at first he didn't believe
it when Robert Ouellette, 24, called to
tell him he'd found the wallet, which
contained $480 in soaking bills. For
years, Howley 's friends had teased him,
joking that they had found the wallet.
But Ouellette persuaded Howley that
this was no gag.
"When he explained to me exactly
where he had found it, I got so excited
I headed right up there," said Howley,
who lives in Seabrook. "I'm very ap
preciative." 1' is governor's lucky number
RAPID CITY, S.D. Gov. George
Mickelson had an ego-bruising experi
ence when he stopped recently at a
service station to get gas for his official
car.
Mickelson wasn't expecting an honor
guard or anything, but he was a little
surprised when he handed the cashier
his credit card and she asked for his
telephone number. No problem; he gave
it to her.
Then she wanted to know his license
plate number. That one was easy: The
governor's number is 1.
"One what?" the cashier asked.
"Just one," the governor replied.
"Well, it's got to be one-something,"
she told Mickelson.
"No, it's just one," he said.
The cashier then asked Mickelson,
"Well, how did you get that?"
"Just lucky, I guess," he said.

weeks ago, Titus' grave became acces
sible to scientists of the Anatomy Insti
tute of Leiden University, 25 miles
away.
After a week of digging, the first
brownish skeleton was found Monday
at a depth of 6 feet, 6 inches.
"It definitely is not Rembrandt," said
Van Stigt, who noted that in the 200
years following the opening of the
church in 1631, people were buried in
layers.
"It is uncertain whether we'll ever
find Titus, let alone his father," said
Harmen Beukers, a professor of medi
cal history in Leiden who leads the
research team. Graves, especially those
inside churches, were regularly emp
tied to make room for new bodies.
Down in the 6-foot, 8-inch-deep pit
on Monday, three archeology students
carefully handled the skeleton's bones,
which were to be brought to Leiden for
further study.
But Van Stigt said digging must be
finished by Thursday when the con
struction crews will close the grave and
start laying a church-wide concrete
floor, putting a final lid on the graves
ber. So far, the space agency has seven
contracts for private launches. The first,
of a scientific satellite, is scheduled for
June from one of four launch pads
turned over to companies.
"It's always sad to see the end of an
era," said James L.. Womack, NASA
director of expendable launch vehicles.
"There's a certain element of sad
ness, but the things we have done have
been fabulous," said Joseph Mahon,
the agency's assistant administrator for
space flight.
Monday's unmanned launch was the
448th for NASA, dating from a Thor
Able that lifted off Oct. 1 1, 1958, hoist
ing the Pioneer 1 probe toward a flyby
of the moon. It failed, as did several
other early launches. But the agency's
overall success rate is better than 90
percent.
"We have had a successful mission
today; the satellite is now being tracked
by spacecraft controllers after a flaw
less ride aboard its Atlas-Centaur
rocket," said launch commentator Lisa
Malone.
The agency stopped buying Atlas
Centaur, Delta and other rockets early
in the 1 980s, opting to launch payloads
torcyclists.
Forbes, 70, riding a red and brown
Harley-Davidson, joined about 1,000
motorcyclists Sunday for the 52-mile
Fall Poker Run through the country
side. "Oh, it was neat," Forbes said. "It
was just a relaxed pleasure ride."
Forbes rode with a 17-member en
tourage of employees and friends, nick
named the Capitalist Tools, who flew
to Pittsburgh aboard Forbes' private
jet.
Elaine Gallagher, who works for
Forbes, said the publisher has been
using the jet for Sunday "air strikes" to
motorcycle events across the country.
"They sent us an invitation and we
showed up," Forbes said.

beneath it.
"We're digging in a hurry, but we'll
do the examination of the bones at a
slower pace," Beukers told The Asso
ciated Press in a telephone interview.
He said it would take months, if not
years, to establish the identities of the
skeletons.
After determining the skeletons' age
and sex, their particulars will be com
pared with the entries in the
Westerkerk's burial books, Beukers
said. Officials were unsure where the
bones would be taken after they are
studied.
If there's a clear indication that one
of the skeletons might be Rembrandt's,
other tests will be done, Beukers said.
"We might want to determine the lead
content of the bones, for 17th-century
paint contained lots of lead," he said.
But it's unlikely that when the
Westerkerk reopens in all its former
glory next May, the painter's grave will
be one of the building's prominent
features.
"Personally, I think that the chance
that he's lying there is minimal," Beu
kers said.

Officials admitted after the Chal

President Reagan directed NASA to
get out of the business of launching
commercial payloads and encouraged
government support of private compa
nies that wanted to provide launch serv
ices. Among NASA's unmanned rocket
achieveijients are: The Mariner, Vi
king, Pioneer and Voyager missions to
the planets; 42 weather satellites; the
Ranger, Surveyor and Lunar Orbiter
probes that scouted the moon in ad
vance of American astronaut landings
there; 94 communications satellites;
scores of scientific payloads, and doz
ens of unmanned test launches for the
Mercury, Gemini and Apollo man-in-space
projects.
The Atlas-Centaur, which made its
68th appearance Monday, and the Delta,
with 184 liftoffs, have been the work
horses of NASA's fleet.
Both have a success rate of more

"It's a less pleasing place to have
one's work appear because it has a
more commercial look than it used to,
with the cluster advertising and the
fluttering snowflakes of renewal forms
falling out," he said. "But the contents
of the magazine are as good as ever, and
I'm as eager as ever to appear in its
pages."
Gill said the editors still lived up to
their reputation for relentless pursuit of
clean writing.
"Every sentence you set down is
subject to a series of challenges," he
said. "But in the end, although you feel
very irritated, the finished product is
not anything but improved."
Bat-wielding principal speaks out
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. Joe Clark,
the former principal who patrolled his
New Jersey school with a baseball bat
and bullhorn to maintain order and keep
out drug dealers, says he believes U.S.
society is near the eve of destruction.
"I do feel that we are a nation pre
cariously perched, a nation at risk, from
a moral standpoint, from an educa
tional standpoint, a spiritual standpoint
and an ethical standpoint."
Clark, subject of the movie "Lean
On Me," is scheduled to share his views
on education in a speech Tuesday at the
University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
"My philosophy is very, very simple.
The educational environment must be
conducive to learning. You can't have
hooligans and thugs and grown men
and women who are just there to dis
rupt." Former President Reagan compli
mented Clark's tough leadership at
Paterson East High, but critics com
plained that his style might also have
driven away potentially successful
students.
