...Stephen Balch, all these incidents show that individuals can make a difference if they are prepared to speak out -- and take the heat for doing so. An associate professor of political science at Manhattan's John Jay College of Criminal Justice, Balch began meeting with a small group of like- minded academics in the New York City area in 1982 to discuss academic problems. By 1987 they had evolved "from a community to an organization" and opened an office. The N.A.S. is funded in part by four conservative foundations, but Balch insists, "We follow our own lights." The association publishes...
...happen in an area," says Aurora's Sloan. One proposal is to look at achieved reductions in the crime rate. Police unions are sure to resist that idea, which would make officers answerable for the countless variables beyond their control -- everything from a local recession to a summer heat wave -- that can lead to increased crime...
...planes have different strong points. Northrop's YF-23, with its sharp, surprising lines, may be stealthier. Its engines are slung under its wings, but their exhaust is sprayed into troughs on the wings' upper surfaces to shield from heat-seeking missiles, a technique borrowed from Northrop's B-2 Stealth bomber. The material surrounding the exhaust outlets in the YF-23 can withstand a temperature of 540 degrees C (1000 degrees F), while the undersurface only a few inches away never gets hotter than 140 degrees C (280 degrees F), making the plane hard to detect by enemy infrared...
...indirect-cost rates necessarily add up to a better deal for the public. The University of Wisconsin at Madison, for instance, has a rate of just 44%, but that is partly because state taxes help cover the cost of buildings, heat and other overhead expenses connected with research. Taxpayers still pay the bulk of the bill, just as they do at Stanford; there are simply more state tax dollars in the mix than at a private school. Rates are typically lower at public institutions anyway. Unlike Cornell or M.I.T., these schools have little incentive to comb federal guidelines for every...
...turbine engine and depleted-uranium armor, and the battle-tested Soviet-built T-72, with its devastating 125-mm gun, would never come to pass. Iraq's heavy armor would be kept at arm's length, picked off from a distance by armor-piercing rounds, laser-guided Hellfires and heat- seeking Mavericks fired from the air. Scout planes and helicopters would identify targets, "squirt" them with lasers, and guide helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft in for the kill. "The point is to reduce our casualty rates by staying out of the enemy's range," said division commander General Paul Funk...
