Wright makes a call to action as well. But it is addressed, if to anyone outside the ghetto, to foundations rather than to the Federal government. In the political realm, he does call for a national lobby, for better communications, for organization. Yet he never loses sight of the necessity for exploring both sides of any question. His statements are couched in terms comprehensible to blacks and whites alike...
...alloys for titanium," says Zackay. "We just haven't had time to look for them." Titanium is used in jet aircraft, and although both engineers termed the idea of using TRIP-processed materials to prevent metal fatigue "pure speculation" at this point, it is not beyond the realm of possibility. Other conceivable uses of TRIP steel: storage tanks to withstand the super-coolness (as much as -450° F.) of liquid helium, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen; chemical-processing equipment; roller and ball bearings. TRIP, in the estimate of its discoverers, is capable of being produced commercially at prices competitive...

Meeting in Denver's Brown Palace Hotel, the company's stockholders last week approved the stock-swap acquisition of Fort Worth's Central Airlines, a smaller regional carrier that operates in the triangle-shaped area between Denver, Dallas and St. Louis. The combined lines would crisscross 14 Mountain, Midwest and Southwest states, serving a 7,465-mile route system, fourth longest (after United, Eastern and Delta) among U.S. domestic airlines. With the merger, Dymond expects Frontier to become the first of the regionals able...
