...broader and deeper investigation, going all the way back to the initial design of the DC-10 by McDonnell Douglas Corp. and its certification by the FAA. The Government's recommendations about the DC-10 will largely depend on what the NTSB's crash detectives eventually find to be the "probable cause" of Flight 191's crash. The accident left no survivors to interview, and the cockpit voice recorder disclosed only two sounds after the routine checklist readings: an unexplained thud and the single word "Damn!" shouted by the pilot or copilot, apparently just as the engine...
...your hang-ups., your uneasiness made it socially unacceptable to mention the fact that we were Viet Nam veterans."

Even in pictures like Pollyanna or Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, Pickford showed wit, endearing mischievousness and sheer spunk...
...mountain in North Carolina has been crowned with what appears to be a giant aircraft propeller. A large man-made atoll, resembling a top that Gulliver would have spun for the Lilliputians, may soon be floating off the coast of California. All are imaginative, experimental devices to help find and develop alternative energies, which would alleviate the dangerous dependency on OPEC...
