McCain
vs. Obama - Who Will Have the Biggest Impact on the A&D Industry?
To
those interested in the potential impact to the A&D Industry of
electing McCain vs. Obama, I recommend you review the June 30 issue
of the Aviation Week & Space Technology periodical. That
issue also has a Viewpoint Article by Newt Gingrich at the
end that is headed: Space First, NASA Second. The coverage
by the Aviation Week & Space Technology is well done and important
to the industry. So, if you havent taken advantage of the significantly
reduced cost of subscribing to the AW&ST weekly magazine, as advertised
in the last issue of the Bulletin, I suggest you consider the offer
now or borrow a copy of that issue from a friend.
