Family leave bill seen as benevolent yet costly
A 1989 analysis argues the Family and Medical Leave Act H.R. 770 is benevolent but costly. It would require 50 plus workers to offer up to 10 weeks of unpaid leave with continued health benefits and job protection. Critics warn of a new federal bureaucracy and reduced worker flexibility within a cafeteria of benefits.

Safety must govern aging jets after United Flight 811
A United Airlines 747 suffered a catastrophic cargo door failure at 22 000 feet causing debris loss and nine passengers missing. Investigators point to a broken cargo door latch amid prior FAA orders for reinforced latches and slow airline adoption. The incident echoes earlier Hawaii airliner failures and raises calls for tougher FAA oversight and a faster, nationwide repair program to protect passengers.
