The Right Stuff
A four-part article about Murphy's law, but it's not about silly thrice-derived witticisms, it's about the guys who where around when it was invented, Edwards Air Force Base.
Even Chuck Yeager is in it.
If you like this, though, get The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe, it's better and much longer ( but it has no reference to the law, IIRC ;-).
