...Raitt. Taj has experimented, he once had a big band, one that featured four tubas, he's incorporated all sorts of West Indian influences into his music. Keeps coming back to the blues, though. His latest is Recycling the Blues, and recycle he does. More joyous music; watch him transport Paul's into Saturday night in the Delta...
Richard Nixon has never been able to count American scientists among his most enthusiastic supporters. In recent years, some of his own scientific consultants have publicly criticized him for his use of defoliants in Viet Nam, his support of the supersonic transport (SST) and his campaign for the Safeguard anti-ballistic-missile system. But the President does not seem to be listening. Administration policies, says the Federation of American Scientists, have left "the scientific community with an ever greater feeling of frustration...

While environmental groups were helping defeat the U.S. supersonic transport in 1971, the Concorde was thoroughly redesigned to minimize noise and air pollution. Still, last week's rejection was not a surprise. Since mid-January, British and French technicians led by Sir George had been lobbying mightily with Pan Am executives in New York. Pan Am has lost $150 million since 1968, but last year, in William Sea-well's first full year as president, losses were...
