Runway clash details emerge in Air Florida Flight 90 crash
Investigators say Air Florida Flight 90 and an Eastern Airlines jet briefly shared National Airport runway 36 as Flight 90 lifted and the Eastern aircraft touched down. FAA rules require two miles of separation. NTSB hearings to review whether that margin was a factor in the Jan. 13, 1982 tragedy that killed 78.

Hart blames media for blocking civil rights nomination
Rev. B Samuel Hart told the Washington Baptist Ministers Conference that liberal journalists hounded him from contention for the U S Civil Rights Commission. He said his stance on homosexuality abortion and Christian morals drew fire after Reagan planned to nominate him and Reagan later withdrew the nomination at Hart's request. He argued the press silences the voice of the church and misreads Christian moral positions in public policy.
