Just as dismaying was the fact that the commissioning of Constellation will be delayed at least a year, and with it the Navy's tightly scheduled combat readiness program. The largest of the Forrestal class carriers, with a capacity of 100 planes (including 15 of the lethal A3D jet bombers), Constellation is the pride of the fleet.

She reasoned that the sweeper himself must be inhaling a lethal quantity of dust-and could not be doing a very good cleaning job besides. Grabbing a long-handled, American-made broom, the ambassador's wife showed the sweeper how to use it so that the dust, instead of flying into the air, stayed in a tidy pile. Then, discovering that...
