...will not prevent such collisions as the one between a big passenger jet and a small private plane near Indianapolis last month that killed 83 people. Many aviation men feel that the only long-range protection against more aerial tragedies lies in an all-encompassing, new air-traffic control system that would keep tabs on every plane in U.S. skies...
...buyers to forget his own schemes and urges them to figure out their own. That way they may learn something about taste and design. Also about frustration. For though the pieces fit together easily enough, producing a balanced and pleasing arrangement is a true test of ingenuity and self-control. Says one new planetarian: "I couldn't stop.

Then her restraint underlined the horror of the days following her husband's death. Now her spare narrative has the same intensifying effect-particularly in the final section on the assassination. The book offers no particular analysis of the tactics of nonviolence. Her portrait of Dr. King is not drawn with an especially clear or unbiased eye; wifely loyalty often robs him of the humanity of having faults. Dispassionate reportage...
