...suing utilities have demanded a jury trial. If each suit went to trial, the federal courts would be trying little else for years. But legal experts agree that, once the first suits set a pattern, cheaper and quicker out-of-court settlements are likely to become the rule. Nonetheless, many a youngster just starting law school may well earn his first few years' salary as a member of the bar working on the electrical-equipment suits...
...military aircraft did it little direct good when, in the postwar famine for planemakers, its backlog of orders was cut from 8,000 planes to 24. But the high-powered research establishment and alert management that served it so well in the airframe business enabled the company to launch, quicker than most of its competitors, a crash diversification program. Today, with only 38% of its sales in aircraft, North American consists of six scientifically oriented divisions, each so large that it has its own president. The divisions...

It will need more people-fewer unskilled workers, more scientists and technicians. The rapid forward tumble of progress will make for quicker obsolescence, shorter production runs. Today's wide variety of experimental space vehicles will shake down to a few reliable systems. And there will be more incestuous relations among the aerospace suppliers-being top contractors on one project, subcontractors on another...
