Like some 170,000 lawyers before him, Michael T. Rose was admitted to the U.S. Supreme Court bar late last month. Normally such admission is a routine step. In Rose's case, however, it represented release from a four-year "living nightmare" that cost him, he says, "friends, clients and career and I don't know how many sleepless nights." What finally ended Rose's ordeal was the same thing that began it: an unusual opinion by Chief Justice Warren Burger...
...Rose was first admitted to the Supreme Court bar in 1982, when he was a Denver attorney. Although a majority of the court approved his application, Burger, joined by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, fired off a widely publicized dissent. As Burger saw it, "Rose's professional conduct does not meet the standards the court should require." The Chief Justice based this view on the findings of a Colorado bar investigation. Though Rose was licensed to practice law in that state in 1981, his first application in 1975 had been rejected. In that initial round, a state bar investigating committee...
...continuing U.S. trend toward sobriety. The combination of health consciousness, concern about drunk driving and the young-professional work ethic has given the alcoholic-beverage industries their toughest test since Prohibition. Total consumption of beer, wine and liquor, which climbed an average 3.3% a year during 1975-80, rose only .4% last year, according to Impact, a trade publication...

Machine-tool imports have nearly doubled since 1981. Even within industries that are still dominated by American firms, foreign manufacturers have made significant gains. Example: computer imports claim 18% of the U.S. market...
...Britain, a group of marine archaeologists has more to work with. When they located the 16th century warship Mary Rose (which sank in 45 ft. of water off Portsmouth in 1545) and raised it in 1982, half of the hull had been buried under protective silt for centuries. The waterlogged structure, part of which had the consistency of wet cardboard, was moved into dry dock at the Portsmouth Naval Base, and has since been sprayed constantly with a cold-water mist to keep the wood from disintegrating in the air. This treatment will continue for another three years, after which...
