...base insurance fees on a doctor's individual record. Higher rates for physicians with many malpractice judgments could mean lower rates for competent physicians, and might even price inept doctors out of the market. University of Virginia Law Professor Jeffrey O'Connell, the co-developer of no-fault auto insurance, has proposed a system that would allow a doctor to pay for a victim's economic losses in exchange for being free of further liability. A 1985 Illinois law provides for pretrial panels to rule on the merits of a proposed malpractice suit; the state supreme court is expected...
...space agency, seemed to be zeroing in on a failure of the right booster rocket, probably at its bottom joint, as the event that initiated the tragedy. The puff of black smoke seen in the NASA photographs and videotape lends support to theories that an O ring was at fault. According to a flight "time-line" compiled by NASA and released at week's end the smoke first appeared .445 seconds after booster ignition. It swirled between the rocket and the external tank, near where the fatal burnthrough seems to have occurred. One solid-rocket specialist noted that because...

...jump to any conclusions. The agency named an interim investigative panel to take charge of the search and called upon two aircraft "crash detectives" from the National Transportation Safety Board - for help. The NTSB experts, more experienced than the space agency in reconstructing accidents, will assist in building a "fault tree": a split- second, item-by-item analysis of the flight's progress, as portrayed by telemetry, voice recordings, eyewitnesses, photographs and videotape. With NASA and industry engineers, the NTSB investigators, like paleontologists trying to reconstruct a dinosaur, will piece together every available scrap of Challenger debris--the same procedure...
...continued large defense expenditures, Reagan called into question the entire welfare program's existence. The past 20 years of social programs have led to a "sinful waste of human spirit and potential," he said. He went on to claim that welfare has "degraded labor," thereby admitting that he finds fault not only with individual social programs, but with the whole philosophy behind government assisting those in need...
