...years that followed. Even after the defeat of World War II, German officers retained their antilabor sentiment, labeled union organizing efforts "contradictory to the principle of command and obedience." In August, Christian Democratic Defense Minister Kai-Uwe von Hassel knuckled under to labor pressure and permitted the Public Service, Transport and Traffic Workers Union (Soldiers Section) to begin recruiting in Bundeswehr barracks. That caused two top generals to resign (TIME, Sept. 2) and widened the fissure in the C.D.U...
...come from the airlines' aggressive selling of what Delta Executive Vice President Thomas Miller calls "the total-distribution-by-air concept." Because of cheaper insurance, lighter crating, fewer warehouse charges and, most important, jet-quick delivery, air freight is often less costly than water, rail or road transport-even though air rates are considerably higher. Using air shipment for most of its electronics products, increasingly diversified Raytheon has cut delivery time from ten to twelve days to 48 to 72 hours-and therefore is selling off its field warehouses in the bargain.

Most Americans are so busy, or so irritated, at transportation shortcomings right under their noses that they fail to realize how many of the nation's transport troubles originate in Washington. Ever since 1887, when the Interstate Commerce Act first fastened rate control on railroads, legislators have been piling law upon law and agency upon agency without considering the total effect. The result is a great googleplex: hundreds of federal, state and local authorities that, oblivious of one another, spend $17 billion a year of taxpayers' money to work at purposes that often cross. Washington, for example, doled...
