At the same time, the SST cancellation and severe slowdowns in space projects have taught the U.S. aerospace industry that Washington can be a fickle customer. Most firms have sought to minimize their reliance on Government-and in fact on the whole wild blue yonder-by pushing diversification programs that range from a Rockwell International venture into industrial knitting machines to Boeing's experiments with alfalfa production...
...just when he comes to realize he needs them both.

The conflict of wills was resolved two weeks ago when the airline fired the veteran pilot...
