...hatch off the ship, and extend the 12-ft. telescoping escape pole, which is positioned to guide them away from the orbiter's wing and tail. One by one, each would slip a ring attached to his suit around the pole and would slide off into the thin air, deploy his parachute and drop into the ocean, where his radio transmitter would lead rescuers to him. The escape procedure would work, of course, only under circumstances that leave the vehicle intact and under control...
...noting the hypocrisy in Bush's positions. Although Bush is fond of using the Midgetman and MX missles in his speeches, it would be somewhat awkward for him to explain why "his" Administration dumped the Midgetman in Congress as "too expensive," or why it scrapped Carter's plans to deploy the MX in the Southwest without offering an alternative, giving it a quiet death...
...issue of a new intercontinental ballistic missile is more complex. The Reagan Administration wants to deploy the ten-warhead MX on railroad cars -- a scheme that might be even more vulnerable to surprise attack than our current system of triple-warhead Minuteman ICBMs in underground silos. Many in Congress (along with Schlesinger and myself) favor the single-warhead Midgetman deployed on mobile launchers, but the very high cost of such a system cannot be ignored. Another option consistent with Dukakis' position would be the deployment of Minuteman in multiple protective shelters (the so- called shell game). The real test...
...collect samples would require separate U.S. and Soviet launches. With their heavy-lift launcher Energia, which can boost payloads at least three times as great as those on the U.S. shuttle, the Soviets would provide an extra capability to ensure sufficient backup fuel supplies. They believe they can deploy a space shield or parachute to slow their spacecraft enough to enable it to enter orbit around Mars without the use of retrorockets that draw on precious fuel supplies. Soviet scientists concede that this "aerobreaking" technique is still experimental...
...could argue that Bok's previous power hitters wisely left the campaign to women officials to match the women-run union. But then why didn't they deploy Harvard's top-ranking woman administrator--Vice President Sally Zeckhauser? Her office was stripped of jurisdiction over the union when she took over this fall, leaving the duties with Scott. And why wasn't the army of women supervisors catalyzed into effective opposition...
