...twin-engine plane that will carry up to 195 passengers on short-to medium-range flights. Simultaneously the British government, which owns the two companies, was being pressed by the French-German-Spanish owners of Airbus Industrie to join them instead in making a narrow-bodied Airbus. Playing a kind of commercial Solomon, Prime Minister James Callaghan tried to win for Britain a piece of both projects...
...three tests are met: that there is a "compelling state interest"; that the evidence sought can be shown to be relevant ("particularity"); and that it cannot be obtained in any other way. But in the Jersey case, the lawyer asked for everything. The judge made no attempt to narrow the request, and when the Times asked for a hearing, he peremptorily turned it down. This is surely arbitrary behavior, but all Jersey courts sustained it-until State Attorney General John Degnan went to the Supreme Court to argue successfully last week that the Times deserved a hearing, and Farber should...

Its highest points are the spines of levees that hold back the river and salt marshes from the 10% of the parish that is dry land. The main highway, Louisiana Route 23, hugging the river's west bank, runs past wooden stands where home-grown oranges are sold and small mountain ranges of lemony-colored sulfur waiting to be loaded on ships...

All bear a striking resemblance-long "supercritical" wings and huge bypass engines-but the 757 is a narrow-bodied aircraft, designed to replace the DC-9 and 727 on short and medium routes. The 767 and 777 are virtually identical wide bodies, except that the latter has three engines...
