...interviews last week with the New York Times, officials raised the remote prospect of military intervention. Yet at the same time, the Administration was petitioning the federal courts for permission to forcibly repatriate most of the boat people, who are currently residing in tents, ships and a huge aircraft hangar at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Supreme Court gave its assent Friday night. A State Department spokesman said the government "will begin immediately repatriating Haitians...
Home Depot has prospered by taking the angst out of the hangar-like spaces and vast array of items that can easily daunt do-it-yourself shoppers. All the firm's warehouse stores feature clearly marked displays and sales staffs wearing large orange aprons who roam the concrete floors to offer advice. Many employees are former carpenters, plumbers or other craftsmen who have traded in their tool kits for such incentives as the company's stock-purchase plan, which lets Home Depot's 26,000 workers buy shares at 15% below the market price; at week's end, the shares...
Amid deeply furrowed fields 25 miles southeast of Moscow -- behind concrete walls, barbed wire and a sign reading FORBIDDEN ZONE -- sprawls the Central Aerohydrodynamics Institute. Employing 10,000 scientists and technicians, the research center combines the theoretical study of aerodynamics with practical experiments on airplanes and spacecraft. In one hangar-size workshop, stress- testing sensors cling like barnacles to prototypes of the new MiG-31 fighter and the next generation of Soviet civilian airliners, the Tu-204 and Il-114. Nearby is the T-128 transonic wind tunnel, where the space shuttle Buran and the Energiya booster rocket were tested...
Standing in the hangar under bright spotlights, the YF-22 Lightning looks just like what it is: a low-slung, sharply angled killing machine. In the air, the advanced jet fighter is not only fast (sprinting up to twice the speed of sound) and agile (pitching and rolling like a Piper Cub) but almost invisible to enemy radar. If the Air Force has its way, the plane will rule the skies for the better part of the 21st century...
Think you have watched the cutting edge of aerospace technology at work in the gulf? Well, you haven't seen anything yet, say test pilots participating in the U.S. Air Force's Advanced Tactical Fighter program. Stowed in a secure hangar at California's Edwards Air Force Base are hand-built prototypes of what these pilots claim are the two hottest fighter planes ever made. The flyers should know. For three months, in separate flight tests, they have been putting the experimental aircraft, designated YF-22 and YF-23, through their paces: landing in crosswinds, performing stomach-churning 360 degrees...
