The company also began a review of its storage and distribution facilities and personnel files of about 30,000 U.S. employees...
...power of positive TV thinking is especially evident in the "faith message" or "prosperity Gospel," a major Pentecostal variant in the 1980s.

Robinson's reasoning was, "It gives you the feeling you've done something most people haven't done. You did rebuild and restore a 44-year-old airplane.
