...much less cost, he feels. Oother investigators agree that consumer demand will be considerably less than current predictions. B. K. Lundbergh, a Swedish scientists, published a report last month on the problem of "dead time," the fact that the short flight time will make night flights to Europe extremely unpopular, since passengers would no longer be able to plan on getting a night's sleep during the crossing...

His successor is Archbishop Luigi Raimondi, currently apostolic delegate to Mexico...
