...uttering obscenities on ship-to-shore frequencies, it is the FCC that takes the rap. Besides all this, the FCC grapples with Comsat and community TV antenna development, not to mention countless research chores, such as the POPSI Project-measurement of "Precipitation and other types of Off-Path Scatter Interference" on satellite and microwave communications...
...talk is expected to drone on until midweek, when the Senate begins a seven-day recess to permit Republican orators to scatter for Lincoln's Birthday addresses. Soon thereafter, the Democrats take their turn with a Jefferson-Jackson Day recess. Thus far, the Senate's torpor has mattered little, since its calendar is empty of business.

The Dow-Jones industrial average had already worried off 14 points from its Feb. 8 high of 861 for the year when the market met one of its all-too-familiar Mondays. Hit by a scatter shot of news about turndowns in steel, machine-tool and rail-equipment orders, the Dow-Jones plunged 10.69 points-its biggest drop in three months. When the Fed's easy-money move came at midweek, it helped power the market to a 4.12-point gain in a trading day so turbulent...
