Another winner in NASA's new game plan is the aeronautics industry. The agency is working with manufacturers on techniques for finding cracks in aging aircraft, on ways to warn airliners of the wind bursts that can cause crashes and on new methods for keeping ice off wings. NASA, Boeing and McDonnell Douglas are developing airliners that would fly hundreds of passengers at up to 3.2 times the speed of sound. (The Concorde carries up to 100 passengers at twice the speed of sound.) And the agency wants to build a supersonic plane that would take off horizontally, launch satellites...
...likely to be afflicted with HIV (gays, drug addicts who exchange needles and anyone who received a blood transfusion before 1985) and urge them as a social obligation to come forward to be tested. If the test is positive, they should inform their previous sexual contacts and warn all potential new ones.

...export stability," says German Defense Minister Volker Ruhe, "we will import instability." Those opposed to the concept argue that growing bigger could introduce enough regional quarrels to unravel NATO. The skeptics warn particularly against isolating and antagonizing Russia, creating threats that do not now exist. Though Christopher and Defense Secretary Les Aspin say the republics of the former Soviet Union, including Russia, could become eligible to join in the future, there is no realistic chance Moscow would sign on as a junior partner in an alliance dominated by the U.S. and Germany...
