Moore is 32 and still working on his degree in meteorology at Oklahoma University. He admits fieldwork appeals more to him than the written thesis that still separates him from a degree. But he is regarded as an expert contract worker and weather photographer, and when tornadic storms are pelting his truck with hail and threatening imminent catastrophe, Moore's language can be impressively scientific. He has caught up with and photographed more than 60 tornadoes in the past eight years, and he speaks expertly of anvils and shears, gust fronts and vortexes, lips and inflow bands...
...charge of FAA "lethargy" can be laid solely against Bond, an expert on aviation law and a private pilot himself. The most dramatic-and eventually disastrous-evidence of the agency's seeming reluctance to crack a whip over McDonnell Douglas was its timid handling of the DC-10's notorious cargo-door problem. FAA inspectors were aware that a cargo hatch blew off during certification tests in 1970. The agency ordered the problem corrected. Yet another door burst open over Windsor, Ont., in 1972, luckily without causing any deaths. Even then, the FAA reached "a gentleman...
Last week the congressional Joint Economic Committee, of which Senator Bentsen is chairman, began special hearings into the productivity sag. From expert witnesses, the committee heard that despite the recent decline, the U.S. still has the world's highest level of productivity, but the lead is shrinking rapidly. In 1950 it took seven Japanese or three German workers to match the industrial output of one American; today two Japanese or 1.3 Germans can do as well. Last year the Japanese had a productivity increase of 8%; the U.S. gain was only .3%. In this year's first quarter...
Laskin, an expert on Canadian legal history and a past professor of law at the University of Toronto, graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School and received a Master of Laws degree from Harvard in 1937. Albert Sacks, dean of the Law School, called him "one of the foremost judicial figures in the court of England and the English-speaking parts of the Commonwealth." He was appointed to the Canadian Supreme Court in 1970 and became its chief justice in 1973. He is the author of The British Tradition in Canadian...
...press conference last week. It was an impish inquiry, since Legitimate Ruler Jimmy Carter was alive and well at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, but Moynihan's question reflected Washington's increasing sense of dissatisfaction and disarray. Indeed, as the week's end brought some expert claims that the U.S. has already entered a recession even though the Consumer Price Index rose in April at an annual rate of 14%, Carter himself may have felt like a man on the wrong side of the walls of Jericho...
