...pilots' ploy obviously intrigued Wall Street. The price of the Elk Grove, Ill.-based company's stock rose from 59 on Monday to close out the week at 72 3/8. One of the main beneficiaries was New York City Developer Donald Trump, who had amassed just under 5% of the firm's shares, which may make him UAL's largest individual stockholder. Trump, 40, helped set the takeover rumors racing when he joined the pilots in criticizing Ferris' management approach.

...servicemen died, was a tragedy of a new order for a Corps that had long ago grown inured to more than its share of casualties on the battlefield. Afterward the investigation by the Long commission faulted the Marine command for its lack of defensive preparations and for its ill-fated decision to house the men in a single barracks.

It still remains to explore the far more interesting questions of women's ill-acknowledged contributions to past scholarship and their unsung role in shaping history...
Long a dream of the American particle-physics community, an accelerator the size of the proposed SSC would be 20 times as powerful as any now existing. It would dwarf the major U.S. accelerators -- Fermilab in Batavia, Ill., and another at Stanford University -- and would surpass even Europe's CERN collider, near Geneva. Formally endorsed by Ronald Reagan last January, the project is what Energy Secretary John Herrington calls a "momentous leap forward" in the exploration of matter and energy...
