...celebrity plaintiff. Small wonder, then, that hardly a seat was vacant during the 14 days of testimony and summation in the libel suit brought against the Star, a lurid London tabloid, by best-selling Novelist (First Among Equals, Kane and Abel) and former Conservative Party Deputy Chairman Jeffrey Archer. The charge: that the Star falsely claimed that Archer had purchased the services of a London prostitute. Last week the jury of eight men and four women wrote a happy ending for the novelist. After deliberating for less than four hours, they found in Archer's favor, awarding...
...down the one growing behind his ball. Through that incident, a line seems to have been drawn: idealism on one side, opportunism on the other. Watson writes hard-and-fast books about rules (and innocently runs afoul of them still). Player considers himself more of an interpreter, like George Archer.

One if not both of the pilots probably saw the other plane coming. That chilling fact confirms what experienced flyers already know: simply spotting an oncoming plane is not enough to avoid it. The pilot must then gauge whether the other craft's speed and bearing pose a threat. In crowded airspace, the risk of error is high...
