W. Clement Ley: nineteenth-century cloud study and the European jet stream
Article Abstract:
Nineteenth-century English meteorologist W. Clement Ley was a pioneer in the field of cloud study. He believed that systematically gathered observations and analyses of the motion of cirrus clouds would elucidate upper trophospheric wind dynamics. Ley in 1894 identified distinctive properties of upper-air flow that were in the late 1990s linked to the jet stream. His remarkable insights on the relations between cirrus motion and upper air flow deserve to be more fully appreciated in the history of meteorological research.

Registration of Tax-Exempt Bonds - A New Era
Article Abstract:
Since July 1, 1983 all municipal bonds are registered rather than issued in the bearer or coupon bond formula. This transition is felt most by the issuer. Issuers have three alternatives: using a pure book entry system, immobilization or a total certified issue. Careful planning will help issuers meet federal guidelines and will assist those needing the financial benefits. A sidebar examines the costs involved for the issuer.

Digital castles in the sky
Article Abstract:
The government should loan the newly created television vacancies in the broadcast spectrum to broadcasters for a limited period of time, perhaps 10 years. But it should be made clear that after this period the spectrum will be sold for money to serve the public.
