Design Flaws in FAA Oversight and DC-10 Safety
A 1958 act gave the FAA dual goals of promoting aviation and regulating safety, producing internal conflicts. The DC-10’s flawed cargo door lock was known in 1972 but changed only after 1974 Turkish Airlines crash, revealing lax maintenance and inspector complacency. APAs call for charter revision to separate promotion from safety enforcement and propose outside review of design certification to prevent conflicts and improve public safety.

SALT II loophole mirrors 1972 ICBM size flaw
Rowland Evans and Robert Novak flag a renewed SALT II flaw after Senate review. The article argues the treaty fails to define the size of Moscow’s SS19 ICBM, repeating a 1972 error and allowing a loophole that could let the Soviets evade limits while Washington claims a 90 000 kg launch weight and 3600 kg throw weight as the U S limit.
