Some sort of compromise is inevitable. It would be unthinkable to shut down overnight the Northwest's logging industry. But as the area of old-growth forest land dwindles, it is increasingly indefensible to cut down trees that were centuries in the making. Tight limits on logging are necessary so that the Northwest will move faster to diversify its economy...
...teach at the University of Texas in Austin. He later served as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences there before being named B.U. president in 1971. Since then he has increased the university's budget more than sevenfold, hired and fired faculty with abandon, and imposed his tight moral code on campus. Although Silber has made his share of enemies over the years, says George Washington president Trachtenberg, "nobody says Boston University is not a better place now than when he came...
...Pentagon budget is tight, the years that follow promise even more bad news for hard-pressed defense firms. The General Accounting Office estimates that as much as $150 billion will have to be hacked out of defense plans over the next five years. One reason: giant, multi-year spending commitments in the early 1980s are still rolling through the budgets like a giant bow wave, pushing aside other priorities. One of the biggest is the Northrop B-2, which is now expected to cost $530 million per plane, making it the most expensive weapons system in history. Eliminating the plane...
...quest for that measurement has become a tight race between European and U.S. physicists. With the new LEP, the Europeans are confident that they can win, but they will have to hurry. A U.S. accelerator called the Stanford linear collider (SLC), built in a hurry (3 1/2 years) and on the cheap ($115 million), has been struggling since February to measure the Z 0. Despite delays in getting the machine up and running, physicists at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, in California, have already produced 120 Z 0s. That is enough to calculate the particle's mass more accurately than...
