...PLANES. Today's jet is a marvel of engineering and safety. Based on actuarial records for new aircraft, Lloyd's of London had expected the Boeing 747 to have at least two fatal accidents during its first two years. But only one commercial crash has occurred since the jet was introduced in 1970?in Nairobi in 1974?and that was because the Lufthansa pilot did not extend the proper wing flaps while taking off. The 747 was blameless, of course, for the catastrophe at Tenerife. Leaving aside Nairobi and Tenerife, a total of 297 of these jets, operated...

Democrat Lloyd Bentsen of Texas came up with a compromise that the Long committee bought: give businessmen a choice of the higher investment credit or a modified jobs credit (25% of wages up to a maximum of $ 1,050 paid to some, not all, new workers, with no $40,000 ceiling...
Many others were indignant that the leader of the bloody assault should be permitted to go free, however temporarily. Complained Senator Lloyd Bentsen, a Texas Democrat, "Khaalis was at liberty even before his hostages were home." A D.C. superior court judge called the releases "outrageous." But to many police and Justice Department officials, it seemed an appropriate price to pay to save the lives of the hostages...
