Donald H. Menzel, professor of Astrophysics, flew to Arequipa last week. Menzel, a seasoned eclipse-observer with well over a dozen expeditions to his record, will be aboard a jet plane as November 12 dawns, at a height that will assure cloud-free visibility regardless of the weather below. Being airborne will also serve to prolong the viewing duration o the eclipse.

But last week, reporting on one of the four disasters-an American Airlines 727 crash in Cincinnati that took 58 lives-the Civil Aeronautics Board blamed the accident on pilot error and cleared the aircraft altogether. The 727, said the CAB, has "no design deficiencies or unsatisfactory operating characteristics...
