American Know-How Crisis Across Bedrooms and Dams
Art Buchwald argues that careless parenting and a lax culture have produced a generation of workers who miss basic skills. He cites failed plants and unsafe designs as evidence, warning that quality control and repairs suffer when people cannot tidy, wash, or organize their own spaces.

Slat loss on doomed flight helped pilot avert crash
A wing slat on the right wing sheared off during the March 4 nose-dive of a Trans World Airlines Boeing 727, potentially aiding the pilot in shedding speed and regaining control. Captain Harvey Gibson landed safely at Detroit Metro after 87 aboard survived with minor injuries. NTSB official Leslie Kampschror notes the slat may have influenced the loss of control. In 1969 Nelson Rockefeller ended a Latin American fact-finding mission for President Nixon amid demonstrations.
