...expected to approve NASA's proposal, despite opposition from a number of Chileans. In a letter to a Santiago newspaper, members of an environmental group, the League for Nature and Peace, warned against "the great ecological damage that such a venture will bring to Easter Island." But David Garrett, NASA spokesman for Space Flight, insists that if the project is approved, NASA will "abide by all Chilean environmental- protection requirements...
Leonard is not the only one who blames the disagreements about women partly on the Pope's personal background. "He thinks of nuns as a servant class," says Rosemary Ruether, professor of theology at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Ill. "He brought nuns with him to Rome to cook his sausages. All his statements about women have only one thing to say: motherhood." The Pope got a taste of such criticisms on his visit to the U.S. in 1979. Sister Theresa Kane, then president of the Sisters of Mercy of the Union, declared in his presence that the church...

Thomas Garrett, the head of the U.S. delegation to the IWC's 1981 meeting, agrees. "What the Administration is actually doing is caving in to Japanese pressure," he says. "The U.S. has not won a promise from Japan to end commercial whaling and may not even have a deal to limit sperm whaling." Conservation groups have sent U.S. Secretary of Commerce Malcolm Baldrige a letter documenting Japanese whale...
Delays are due in part to a lack of air-traffic controllers. Commercial flights are now directed by some 13,500 controllers, a drop of 2,850, or 17%, since President Reagan fired striking members of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization in 1981. Says Delta Chairman Garrett: "The main reason for the delays is that the air-traffic system has not been brought back to where it was by the FAA." The agency has promised to add 1,400 controllers by Sept. 30 of next year...
