Growing Hobby. Collision danger, to be sure, is still remote, but Roth figures that precaution is called for. Five years ago, as head of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory's Denver Moonwatch Team, he became interested in the problems of satellite reentry. To help scientists predict the debris' drop more precisely, he organized flight crews into the Voluntary Flight Officer Network and asked them to report all satellite sightings...
...mail, sort it at central clearinghouses, truck it to delivery routes. Then white-uniformed, bonded carriers trudge to each house, put the mail in plastic bags, which are hung on doorknobs (nobody but a U.S. postman is allowed to place anything in mailboxes).

Using some $20 million of the proceeds, the company has whittled the debt down to $28.6 million, expects to pay the rest by year's end. Wall Street seems to see that as a sure sign of turnaround, and last week the company was huddling with Manhattan moneymen over plans to raise $50 million in new capital. The badly needed long-term deal would be used to bankroll new dealerships and build new models...
