...lethargy" can be laid solely against Bond, an expert on aviation law and a private pilot himself. The most dramatic-and eventually disastrous-evidence of the agency's seeming reluctance to crack a whip over McDonnell Douglas was its timid handling of the DC-10's notorious cargo-door problem. FAA inspectors were aware that a cargo hatch blew off during certification tests in 1970. The agency ordered the problem corrected. Yet another door burst open over Windsor, Ont., in 1972, luckily without causing any deaths. Even then, the FAA reached "a gentleman's agreement...
...pushing and most important lobby--never endorsed a presidential candidate until Carter promised he would create a Department of Education. Rep. John N. Erlenborn (R-Ill.) is less kind. "H.R. 13778 is a political payoff in every sense of the word," he told his colleagues, adding, "it is the cargo preference legislation of the education community." One longtime Capitol Hill observer is almost incredulous. "When you want to satisfy an interest group," she explains, "you give them a dinner--not a department."

Epps III, dean of students, could only smile faintly to his precious bus cargo, a group of influential Harvard alumni known as the University Resources Committee...
...will transfer (exchange, in engineering parlance) much of its heat to the water now flowing in the separated secondary loop. Presumably only low-level radioactivity will be passed on, and so, in a sense, the heat passing out of the system will not be accompanied by any dangerous cargo. Meanwhile, the water from the core, having yielded its heat?and thereby become denser and heavier?will flow down and out of the generator into the primary loop's "cold leg." That will carry the water back into the hot reactor, where the water will be re heated, expanded and able...
