...will fall is another question seriously troubling defense-minded Congressmen. Some fear that the Administration will primarily reduce scheduled increases in the Operations and Maintenance account, which covers spare parts, ammunition and training. In contrast to slowdowns in weapons procurement, which take years to be reflected in actual outlays, an O. and M. slash would reduce Pentagon spending quickly, but also crimp efforts to solve what many defense specialists regard as the nation's worst military deficiency: the inability of many units to get ready to fight immediately...
...there are real people moving through this movie's rooms, historical characters driven by private obsessions. By insisting that the audience share the weight of the traditions that pressed down upon the actual people, by forcing attention on the nuances of manners and speech of England in the 1920s, and by simply taking their own sweet time about telling their tale, the film makers throw into high relief the powerfully contrasting passions of the characters...
Last week the controversy was revived when Donald Heath, a physicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, reported actual evidence of ozone depletion. His study, based on long-term weather satellite observations, indicated a reduction of about 1% in total ozone volume, with most of the losses concentrated at an altitude of about 25 miles. Though Heath acknowledged that his findings could not be tied directly to the chemicals, he pointed out that there is a suggestive link: calculations have shown that if chlorofluorocarbons were, in fact, damaging atmospheric ozone, the greatest harm would probably occur at about...
Fortunately, the U.S. economy has so far been spared the sorts of dislocations that the striking air-traffic controllers had been hoping to bring about. As planes continued to take off and land throughout the week, more or less on schedule, Administration officials grew confident that the actual economic impact of the walkout would not be great, at least for now. Said James Burnham, a White House economist and spokesman for the President's Council of Economic Advisers: "I don't believe that this strike, as it has developed, will have any measurable impact on the gross national...
...just products that can spoil or rot that move by air. Tens of millions of dollars in nonperishable goods are also transported by airlines, and delivery delays can lead to losses many times larger than the cost of the actual goods shipped. Commercial aviation moves 90% of the nation's first-class mails and is the principal way in which many firms rush spare parts to customers. Shell Oil Co.'s huge Norco refinery outside New Orleans daily receives several such shipments of spare parts, and its operations could have to be cut back without them...
