Given the Law School's reputation and its faculty's achievements, it seems natural, then, that when a business needs outside legal advice, it often calls upon Harvard professors. So when the producers of "Good Morning, America" and a local Boston newscast wanted an on-air legal expert, they asked Miller, a nationally renowned expert on civil procedure appointed by Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger to serve on one of the court's advisory committees. Similarly, when Fred Friendly, the former president of CBS News, needed three experts to moderate his "Media and Society" seminars and his PBS series...
...Flight 007. "All engine!" the Korean pilot said to controllers shortly after being hit, signaling that all four of his engines were gone. "Rapid decompression," he added. This indicated that the plane, which had been flying at over 30,000 ft., was losing pressure rapidly. One U.S. Air Force expert described the likely scene: "As the fuselage opens and windows blow out, everything in the cabin, including passengers, even passengers in their seat belts, can be sucked out through the fuselage holes and the windows. Then comes the cold, say about -50°, instant extreme frostbite for anyone left alive...

Born in Druten, a small village in east Holland, he went to Lebanon as a missionary in 1958; there he became an expert in Armenian (he is fluent in seven other languages). Kolvenbach later earned a doctorate in Armenian in Paris, spent a year of spiritual study at a Jesuit center in Pomfret, Conn., then returned to Beirut as a professor at St. Joseph's University. He later headed the Jesuits' Middle East province (Lebanon, Syria and Egypt). "Father Kolvenbach is a classic Jesuit," says an official in Rome...
Gingerich started his summer with a heartbreak. An expert on Conpernicus' "De Revolutionibis [Concerning the Revolutions]" that first proposed that the earth rotates around the sun, rather than the reverse. Gingerich seizes every opportunity to examine the rare work. In June, he arrived in Hamburg, Germany, on his way to a scientific symposium just 24 hours after the auctioning of an unexamined copy...
