...specific commitments from either the U.S. or Britain. Hussein is far from happy with the way the war was fought. "There was not enough coordination, not enough planning, not enough anything," he says. But he is determined to rebuild his forces, with aid or without, as fast as possible...
Both planes were victims of a violent and invisible phenomenon called CAT (Clear Air Turbulence), a menace that has grown proportionately with increasing aircraft speeds. Clawing without warning at fast-flying jets, CAT wreaks death and injury and causes millions of dollars of damage annually to commercial and military aircraft. But CAT may soon be stripped of its coat of invisibility. Preliminary tests of a new infra-red detector indicate that areas of turbulence can be spotted as far away as 48 miles, giving jet pilots as long as four minutes to take evasive action...
Leaving a Track. Scientists generally agree that CAT occurs when a stream of fast-flowing air passes through an air mass moving at a lower velocity or in the opposite direction. The resulting shearing action produces turbulence-often severe-at the boundaries of the stream. CAT is usually encountered near the constantly shifting west-to-east jet stream and near mountain ranges, where cold air frequently spills at great speed down the leeward slopes. Although the turbulence is obvious to any pilot caught in it, it cannot be seen by the human eye. Attempts to detect CAT with devices that...
...items and eyeglass frames, got lower tariffs for U.S.-made TV tubes in return. The Danes' dander rose over the tariff on live beef, which is an important Danish export. In retaliation, Danish negotiators tacked "reservations" onto their commitment to cut passenger-car tariffs 50%, will likely stand fast on a token 20% reduction...
...jumped to a quick lead, and Harvard's shaky rowers were just even with Penn, a crew twice defeated by the Crimson earlier this year. But by the 500-meter mark, Harvard had settled down to a smooth and surprisingly low pace of 35-36, and was gaining ground fast. At 1000 meters, it was half a length ahead of Vesper, a full length ahead of Penn, and still pulling away...
