Western failed to pass either of those tough tests. Nearly all the major airlines have successfully employed flight engineers over 60, among them Western, which was forced to do so during Criswell's suit. And many airlines have demonstrated their ability to recertify pilots on an individual basis by continuing to employ hundreds of victims of alcoholism, heart attack and stroke. One of Western's lawyers, William John Kennedy, had argued that the age-60 rule was based on safety considerations. Predicting passengers will be at greater risk, he said bitterly, "We've been kicked in the teeth...

...clouds of interstellar dust that hide the galactic center from the glassy-eyed view of optical telescopes. Still, the enigmatic source of radiation was an enormous distance away -- 30,000 light-years, or 180 quadrillion miles. The only way to discern its size and shape accurately was to employ a technique called VLBI (very long baseline interferometry). In 1983 the astronomers observed Sgr A* with six giant dish-shaped radio telescopes, one each in Massachusetts, West Virginia and Texas, and three in California. "In effect, the configuration of the telescopes gave us a 'lens' 3,000 miles in diameter," explains...
...federal money for job programs dries up, local officials will be asking corporations to carry more of the burden. Says Jesse Rhone, an office manager for the Texas employment commission: "Until the private sector assumes greater responsibility to employ these youths, the problem is not going to go away." Chicago Mayor Harold Washington will soon appear in local TV and radio ads in which he implores businessmen to "hire the future." In New York City, Metropolitan Life Insurance has taken charge of a proj-ect in which companies will employ 30,000 youths this summer in exchange for federal income...
