...first fishermen losing boats to bankruptcy weren't eager to hear their trouble analyzed by a woman environmentalist, and certainly not by a nonreligious Muslim, born in the U.S. of Iranian parents. But the underlying problem, years of overfishing off New England that had caused fish stocks to crash, wouldn't go away. Neither would Dorry. Quietly she spoke to Gloucester residents: this is my information; this is what I think and why I think it. A few at a time, often grudgingly, the fishermen or their wives began to listen...
Your report on the tragic crash of Swissair Flight 111 [WORLD, Sept. 14] was incorrect in stating that shippers are not required to disclose to air carriers the contents of their parcels even if they contain hazardous materials. International Air Transportation Association regulations require that all dangerous items transported by air within the U.S. must have a complete and proper declaration. In addition, the contents of every package shipped internationally must be fully declared, whether hazardous or not. Our company ships dangerous materials worldwide, and we take our responsibilities very seriously, as do all other reputable transportation companies and airlines...
Because Catatonia certainly isn't trying to break new ground. They just want to break onto the scene.

And they're doing it massively and unrelentingly, with a voraciousness I haven't seen since just after the 1987 crash--when insiders scooped up cheap company stock that made them fortunes...
...described one of an aviator's worst fears: "We have smoke in the cockpit." Eleven minutes later, his radio fell silent, and six minutes after that, Swissair Flight 111 slammed into the Atlantic Ocean off Nova Scotia, killing all 229 people onboard. While the cause of that Sept. 2 crash has not yet been determined, investigators have discovered indications of a fire in an electronics compartment below the cockpit, and the presence of smoke made the crash seem eerily similar to that of ValuJet Flight 592 in the Florida Everglades in 1996. As a result, the Swissair disaster has attracted...
