...Viking emerged from its conjunction with the sun, a team headed by Physicist Irwin Shapiro of Massachusetts Institute of Technology measured the time it took for radio signals to make the round trip between the earth and the Viking orbiters, 400 million kilometers (248.5 million miles) away. The scientists were making the most accurate tests yet of one of the tenets of Einstein's theory of relativity, which holds that radio waves passing close to a massive body like the sun should be slowed down by its gravitational field. The signals to and from the Viking orbiters have further...
...steel-price rollback. Still, steel men note caustically, aluminum makers in November announced price increases of as much as 11 % on some products without drawing any special political comment. Even more striking, Du Pont raised the price of Dacron staple fiber up to 10%; yet Du Pont Chairman Irving Shapiro was welcomed to a long conference between Carter, his economic aides and some businessmen at which the participants discussed, among other things, what to do about steel prices...

Last week some dollar numbers emerged from separate meetings between Carter and his transition staff, and the incoming President and chief executives of 15 giant companies, including Ford Motor Chairman Henry Ford II and DuPont Chairman Irving Shapiro. The President-elect's advisers were somewhat more modest than the businessmen. In effect, they called for $20 billion in tax cuts and spending increases, while the corporate chiefs-or at least their spokesman, General Electric Chairman Reginald Jones-opted for $23 billion.

...Charles Schultze, a former Budget director under Johnson; Andrew Brimmer, perhaps the nation's most prominent black economist and a former member of the Federal Reserve Board; and Michael Blumenthal, chairman of the Bendix Corp. and a former deputy assistant Secretary of State. Another possible choice was Irving Shapiro, head of Du Pont...
...same sluggishness prevails in the man-made fiber industry, although sales of Dacron-one of many fibers produced by Du Pont-continue strong. Du Pont still is suffering because of downturns in clothing sales and the housing slump. Chairman Irving Shapiro has predicted lower fourth-quarter earnings for the chemical giant. The industry, he says, has 30% more capacity than in 1973. Sales of aluminum are brisk, but a Reynolds official says that costs still are not being covered...
