...Shevchenko had significantly exceeded the permitted limit on river herring-a protected species. According to the log, most of the fish had been transferred to the trawler's mother ship, which was already outside the 200-mile zone, but 16 tons had been loaded onto a second cargo vessel, the Antanas Snechkus, which was still in U.S. waters...
...tragic victims of Tenerife, there were no ifs. For their surviving families, the ifs were only agony. The reality came home at week's end in brown wooden boxes, flown to Holland and Delaware's Dover Air Force Base in cargo jets. Now it was up to the professional investigators to deal with both the ifs and the realities of aviation's worst disaster...
...project's detractors are many. The Army Corps of Engineers now estimates Tenn-Tom will return only 87? for every dollar spent. The chief cargo on the inland waterway would be coal carried by barges. According to one official of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, which is suing to stop construction, "the money this is costing would let us haul all the coal of western Kentucky for 500 years for free." Argues another observer: "If nature gave this country the Mississippi River, there is no reason the Corps of Engineers can't do the same thing and call...
...experimental basis. For one thing, banning it might be a futile attempt to block the inevitable. Supersonic travel, after all, is probably here to stay, if only because greater speed has always been the primary goal of transportation development. The Soviet supersonic TU-144 is said to be hauling cargo between Moscow and Alma Ata, while nearly 15,000 passengers-admittedly, a small minority of transatlantic travelers-have already flown the Concorde to Europe. They are delighted by its speed, if not its comfort. For another thing, a ban on the Concorde would betray the American tradition of welcoming rugged...
Another drawback to increased gas imports is the danger of a ship spilling some of its cargo in or near a port. That could result in a catastrophe far worse than the oil spills from tankers that have worried many Americans this winter. As the frozen LNG warms into gas, it could ignite, creating an immense fireball threatening lives and property in the vicinity. Last year New York, New Jersey, Delaware and other coastal states petitioned the Federal Power Commission to promulgate national safety standards that would keep LNG port facilities out of populous areas. The agency is still considering...
