While the conflict is only one factor in Nicaragua's economic decline in recent years, an end to the fighting would probably result in an immediate, if small, increase in agricultural production. And for hundreds of thousands of campesinos in contested areas where the gun is king, peace would remove a lot of fear from their lives. "Farmers are often too frightened to work their lands properly," says Cruz, who has had crops and animals taken by the guerrillas. "And what is the point of producing things that get blown up by land mines on the way to market...
...School, verified that the demands placed on the pilot -- the equivalent of running two marathons back to back -- would not exceed the limits of human endurance. Since the wingspan measures 112 ft. and the plane flies just 15 ft. above the ocean waves, even a second's pause would result in a quick dunking. To keep the human engine from sputtering, Nadel, with the Shaklee vitamin company, developed a lemon-flavored cocktail of energy-rich glucose, water and a blend of salts to nourish the pilot throughout the flight. In addition, Daedalus' team of five pilot-athletes staggered their training...
...young pilot maneuvered Daedalus 88 with a stubby metal joystick on the floor to his right. To decrease the drag on their sprawling invention, the plane's designers had dispensed with the hinged ailerons on the following edges of the wings that normally make turning easier. As a result, Daedalus responded sluggishly, to the stick's movements, making it more difficult for Kanellopoulos to steer a straight course...
Beyond national security concerns, there are other legal hurdles. Imports of Soviet goods to the U.S. are inhibited by an American law that withholds favorable trading status from certain countries practicing repressive emigration policies. Result: the Soviets have turned to West Germany, Japan and other industrial partners for investment capital and production expertise. Says Donald Kendall, chairman of the executive committee at PepsiCo, which operates 25 bottling plants in the Soviet Union: "They found that we're not the only fountain of knowledge." Since 1972, Soviet trade with the West has surged from $7 billion to $41 billion. But American...
...most important thing is that this procedure is preventable," says George Annas of the Boston University School of Medicine. Multiple fetuses often result from in vitro fertilization, in which numerous embryos are transferred into the uterus in the hope that one will "take." As a result, some clinics now use fewer embryos. Multiple conceptions have also occurred in women taking fertility drugs; many could be avoided, say obstetricians, if dosages were prescribed more carefully. Such measures would probably lengthen the time that it takes couples to conceive, but that seems a small price to pay for avoiding what must...
