Severe weather is expected all over the state, and the scientists at the Norman laboratory, operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) laboratory, have just launched the second part of a ten-week storm project called Sesame 79. Part 1 examined regional atmospheric conditions. Part 2 is aimed at collecting data from specific storms. Nobody in the Great Plains is pleased to learn that a tornado is on the way. But these scientists, engaged in a $3.5 million project to help measure and ultimately predict tornadoes and severe storms, are excusably excited...
...deeply involved in the DC-10 investigation, insists that "we are not playing footsie with the industry. The manufacturers couldn't possibly be more concerned about safety."

One is from the outside as politicians, mainly Congressmen anxious to bring jobs and business to their districts, gently prod top FAA officials to expedite the process of approving a new plane's design and flight results. Another is what Daugherty calls "peer pressure": company engineers seeking...
...massive project marks a grim scientific milestone of sorts. While retrospective studies were made of Japanese A-bomb victims after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this is the first ever undertaken to examine effects of low-level radiation from essentially the time of exposure.
