...five-year Iran-Iraq war that has already cost thousands of lives. By repeatedly attacking Kharg, the Iraqis hope to reduce if not halt the oil exports that provide the revenues needed to bankroll Iran's war effort.

If Kharg is totally disabled, Iran has threatened to choke off traffic through the 20- to 30-mile-wide Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. has said it would interpret closure of the passage as a strategic threat...
Beyond such homely practicality lies a reawakened national concern for some faded educational verities, among them the close teacher-pupil contact that was much in evidence last week at Lennep. There, beneath pictures of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, Carol Sevalstad, 33, glided through the mellow buzz of a dozen children in six grades.

He had built twelve prototypes for the Ergon; for the Equa, designed in collaboration with Don Chadwick, there were 27. Before Equa, there were two kinds of office chairs: seat and back could be separate, as in Ergon, or they could be one solid shell. Stumpf and Chadwick found a new material (Du Pont's Rynite, a reinforced fiber glass...
