...Philippines, the Newstour went to Clark Air Base, where Major- General Gordon (Gordy) Williams and his counterpart at nearby Subic Bay Naval Base, Rear-Admiral Edwin Kohn, described the strategic importance of the two U.S. facilities. The guest journalists met with a broad range of political figures, including Jaime Cardinal Sin and the widow of assassinated Opposition Leader Benigno Aquino. They spent a total of five hours with President Ferdinand Marcos, first in a rigorous question-and-answer session (see WORLD) and then at a banquet that evening...
THESE ARE GOOD--but there's something funny about the fact that Attorney General Edwin Meese has recently begun attacking the court for not paying attention to the original intention of the Framers of the Constitution. This is an attitude belittled by Tribe as a futile exercise in historical mind games; it is also important to Tribe that future justices not hold this illfounded ideal. Tribe is probably right on this count. His argument packs a lot of authority and logic, but Meese isn't listening. And why would...
...Tucson trial during a nine-month operation dubbed "Sojourner," in which informants joined church meetings and sometimes even participated in transporting fugitives. An ecumenical coalition is pressing a civil suit, which will be heard in December in San Francisco, against INS Commissioner Alan Nelson and U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese, charging that government prosecutions interfere with Sanctuary workers performing their religious duties.

...Attorney General Edwin Meese wanted Abbas badly. Meese refused to rule out kidnaping as a means of bringing the fugitive Palestinian to justice. The only limitation on U.S. action that Meese acknowledged was "respect for the sovereignty of other nations." That still left Washington the option of taking action in international waters or, once again, in international airspace if Abbas should ever be found there. Said a U.S. intelligence official: "The world is getting very small for Abbas. His days as a free terrorist are numbered...
...Klitzing's breakthrough, which bears directly on the design of semiconductors, was based on a discovery in 1879 by Edwin Herbert Hall, an American physicist. Hall had observed that electricity traveling through a metallic strip is diverted to one side when a magnetic field is applied perpendicularly to the flow of the current. A measurement of that diverted current is known as Hall voltage. Von Klitzing expected to find that Hall voltage in semiconductors is affected by the material from which they are composed. To his astonishment, Von Klitzing discovered that a measure of the voltage did not depend...
