...safety is of intensely personal concern to me and to all other airline pilots. But we live within myriad rules and multiple pressures. For example, at New York's traffic-saturated Kennedy Airport, 8,400-ft. Runway 4R has been equipped and designated by the FAA as the main instrument runway. But 14,500-ft. Runway 13R, which provides the length today's jets need to land safely on wet surfaces, has no ILS (instrument landing system). This becomes especially inappropriate considering Kennedy Airport's frequent combination of very low ceilings and visibility with accompanying southeasterly surface...
Though it hardly came as news to the housewife, the Labor Department last week reported another sharp increase in food prices. Leading the rise were beef, veal and poultry, which, with fish, jumped 17.4% in cost during the twelve-month period ending March 31.

That signaled Wilson's determination to forge ahead with Labor's main ideological plank: renationalization of Britain's 14 major steel companies.

...With a ten-inch incision across his chest, DeRudder was hooked up to a heart-lung machine. And then, as five cameras recorded every step, the surgeons opened his left auricle. They replaced the diseased valve, but even this promised little. The left ventricle, the main pumping chamber, which does more than half the heart's work, was too badly diseased. Standing ready in the operating room was a team of doctors and engineers with the one device that might help: a "half-heart" to assist the left ventricle by partially bypassing it (see diagram). An instrument based...
...organized crime, whose members well know their rights, but will simply end the present hypocrisy of hiding the Constitution from the squeal room's main customers-the poor, the ignorant and the mentally limited...
