...Florida in March 1982, it says that cocaine and marijuana seizures there are up 54% and 23% respectively, drug arrests have risen by 27%, and the street value of intercepted dope amounts to around $5 billion. Smugglers, however, have risen to the challenge by trafficking in smaller, harder-to-detect loads and by moving some off-loading operations to other places, including California and the Atlantic Coast as far north as Nova Scotia...
Another benefit, stemming from wobbles in Pioneer's flight path, may be the detection of a long-suspected tenth planet or perhaps even an unseen nearby star. Both possibilities have been suggested as the source of the gravitational tugging that is causing the strange perturbations in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. Scientists are even speculating that by carefully following Pioneer's movements they may detect effects of long-sought gravity waves. Postulated by Einstein's general theory of relativity, these waves are thought to be the carrier of the gravitational force, just as the photon...
...area of health and safety, and its team include such diverse specialists as Louis J. Diberardinis, an industrial hygienist who evaluates chemical exposures and deals with asbestos-related problems; three safety and construction as well as hazardous chemical disposal; David E. Breen, a fire protection engineer who tries to detect fire hazards; Jessie A. Morton, who heads the sanitation inspection branch: Harding, who handles infectious agents and genetics research hazards: Alpert, the newest of the group, who deals with pest control: and a radiation protection group, headed by Dr. Jacob Shapiro, a radiological safety engineer, and Johnson...
...zealously. Says he: "It is as if Lucas were a famous composer who said to me, 'Here's a 120-piece orchestra. Here's my music. I'd like you to conduct.' " In this maestro's view, Kershner had carelessly strayed from the true faith. Marquand was disturbed to detect that in Empire Artoo-Detoo was occasionally painted with black squares instead of his customary blue, and that Darth Vader sometimes wielded his light-saber with only one hand, like an oldtime Texas sheriff. "Everyone knows that a light-saber is too heavy for one hand," Marquand says indignantly...
...respectability. The best parts of A Private View deal with the '20s, when moguls were old-fashioned family men who made sure that their values got into their pictures. Selznick gracefully catches the small-town quality about the Hollywood of her childhood. Readers with a sociological eye may detect the beginnings of the suburban style (commuters, private clubs, recreational wardrobes) that would spread decades later...
