Concorde clears Kennedy debut with low takeoff noise
The Concorde flew from JFK on its maiden test, producing noise levels of 90.5 and 106 decibels well below the 12 decibel limit per airport rules. Pilot Brian Walpole steered a sharp bank over Howard Beach as opponents called the test a farce. An additional test flight was planned as airlines eye November 22 for regular service.

U.S. panel weighing marijuana as prescription drug
A federal advisory committee will meet on November 16 to decide if marijuana should be moved from Schedule I to a class with drugs like cocaine and morphine. If rescheduled, doctors could prescribe marijuana for certain cancer and glaucoma patients, though experts caution the evidence is not conclusive. The debate centers on medical value, societal attitudes, and potential access for patients under federally sanctioned research.
