Government lawyers, well aware that juries are prone to be generous toward an injured plaintiff, figured that the FAA might be held partially responsible anyway, whatever the CAB said.

The jolly crowd then collected at the gallery to see what was going to happen. Nearly everyone sat on campstools-White House Art Adviser Bill Walton, FAA Administrator Najeeb Halaby, Mrs. Arthur Schlesinger Jr. Those...
