...failure of several rockets to launch their payloads [SPACE, May 24] implied that the world's satellite makers must depend on Russian, Chinese and European rockets to get into orbit. Nowhere did you make note of the most reliable booster in the world today--the Lockheed-Martin Atlas launch vehicle. The Atlas has had 43 consecutive successful launches of commercial and government satellites. That is a fabulous record in this very challenging business.

...Atlas Asia-Pacific, which distributes paint and automotive oil in Asia, management used a combination of work-force reduction and other strategies to save itself from diving markets overseas. Atlas, of Burlingame, Calif., suffered a catastrophic 65% drop in sales this year. The downturn led the company to lay off four of its 16 employees and to slash its travel budget from $450,000 to $75,000.
