...That's why, with 20 or so days left before Flight 447's black box stops its sonar pinging, the French sub and two radar-equipped ships from the U.S. and the Netherlands have joined the hunt. Their job is daunting. "Experts in the TWA and Swissair inquiries did absolutely excellent work, but they recovered sea wreckage in depths of 100 to 130 ft. [30 to 40 m], while the Air France search is in waters of about 12,000 ft. [3,600 m]," says aeronautic engineer Favé. "With most of Flight 447 that far underwater, French investigators...

That led to greater awareness of the issue on the part of students and faculty,” Verba said.Indeed, just a month after the Dominguez case appeared on its radar, the administration released the results of the survey—one-third of all female students reported experiencing sexual harassment at Harvard, but almost none of these women was willing to file a formal complaint.“Things were more under the table [in the 1980s],” said Gabrielle...

Five planes, two helicopters and three boats are involved in the initial search for it, and the French have sent up a military plane from Dakar, Senegal. Brazilian officials cautioned that the search area could be three times the size of Europe...
