...average for all other private pilots" [Aug. 5] is misleading. Physicians with better-than-average incomes have high-performance aircraft, fly more than other groups, and therefore have greater exposure to accidents. Even so, members of the Flying Physicians Association, numbering 2,000 (about half the known U.S. and Canadian physician pilots), have an accident rate approximately the same as the average. We believe that our requirements of certification of higher aviation skills, such as basic instrument ability as a requirement for membership renewal, result in more responsible and safer flying...
...chief pilot for the U.S.-Canadian Icefield Ranges Research Project, Phil Upton had for years stared down from his plane at the billions of tons of antediluvian ice frozen onto the east slope of Mount Steele in Canada's Yukon Territory. Perhaps 20,000 years old, it looked much the same as any other glacier-until six weeks ago, when Upton gazed down and did a double take. To his astonishment, Steele Glacier's normally mirror-smooth surface now was churned into cathedral-like spires 250 ft. tall. The huge chunk of ice was on the move...
Beside themselves with excitement, some 30 top Canadian and U.S. geological scientists rushed to the area to take advantage of what one called "the opportunity of a lifetime" to observe glacial movement. One theory was that Steele's takeoff originated when a section near its base sank a hundred feet, causing the glacier to start "overriding" itself. But the scientists were unanimously chary of conjecture. "We just don't know anything about the action and reactions of glaciers," confessed bearded Professor Samuel Collins of the Rochester Institute of Technology. "That's why we're here...
Born in Southampton, Ont., of a Scottish father and a mother of English descent, Thomson was a bright but restless student. He left Canada at 18 without finishing high school, headed south of the Canadian border, turned up at the home of an uncle in the Queens borough of New York City. Interested in figures and bookkeeping, he went to Wall Street for a job, was hired by Merrill as a runner at $14 a week. "I remember the salary well," says Thomson, whose present annual income is over $100,000. "I couldn't live...
Despite such friendly statements, the mere fact that Sharp deemed it politically expedient to propose his bank ban is evidence of widespread Canadian dissatisfaction about the country's deep economic dependence on the U.S. Another sign: a Gallup poll last week reported that 53% of Canadians feel that their way of life is too strongly influenced...
