Van Gogh Flying history, and in 1985 they are running 20 percent higher." "Not only was Mr. Engen wrong in January, he was wrong by a verv wide margin," Oberstar said. "The near mid-air collisions were dou­ bled, not reduced by 50 percent." By cross checking reports of near collisions -- those in which aircraft approach within 500 feet or when a pilot feels the plane is involved in a potentially dangerous situation -- Oberstar said his committee found for 1984 "a little over 1,000 near mid-air collisions." 1 Despite warning signs that some say point to danger, Johp O'Brien, director of engineering and air safe­ ty department of the Air Line Pilots Association, said, "Basically, it is safe to fly. There is no question about it. But there are degrees and margins of safety." "If the pilots feel it is no longer safe, they will stop flying," O'Brien said. He cited instances in the late 1970s, when Quebec air traffic con­ trollers insisted on communicating in French, and six years ago, when air traffic controllers went on strike in Mexico. John Enders, president of the Flight Safety Foundation, said sta­ tistics developed by his organization and others show that, worldwide, chances of dying in an air crash are "less than one in a million." In 1980 in the United States alone, Enders said, there were 0.004 deaths for each 100 million air pas­ senger miles. The number has dropped consistently since 1932, when 28.9 passenger deathSLwere recorded for each 100 million pas­ senger miles, he said. Worldwide in 1984. airlines car­ ried 760 million passengers more than 800 billion miles with 19 fatal accidents that killed 640 people. "As a general activity." Enders concluded, "flying is pretty dam safe." Nonetheless, an informal UPI sur­ vey of U.S. travel agencies showed that an increased number of passen­ gers in recent days have requested seats in the rear of planes, citing the Delta and JAL crashes in which the only survivors were seated in the tail section. O'Brien, a top aviation expert, said there are no reliable statistics showing that passengers seated in the rear have a better chance to survive an accident. O'Brien said he believes the FAA should move more quickly in devel- Continued from Page 12B oping new technology to nelp avert potential olane crashes. One project already being tested is a computerized traffic alert colli­ sion avoidance system, he said. The system, estimated to cost $100,000 a plane, would alert a pilot to planes approaching in the air space without relying on directions from ground-based air traffic con­ trollers. It would recommend eva­ sive actions and free pilots from some of the pressures of trying to visually spot nearby aircraft. "The collision avoidance system is a system of last resort." CVBrien explained. "Such a system exists today. It has been tested by the FAA in New York, Miami and At­ lanta. When you consider that a new plane can cost between $30 million to $40 million, the expense is justifiable."

"In every case, van Gogh's actions fit these descrip­ tions," Khoshbin said. "It is particularly clear when we jlook at his stay at Aries in the south of France in 1888. ». "That was van Gogh's greatest period of creativity. He produced 200 paintings, 100 drawings and 200 letters. That is a phenomenal, obsessional output." J, Van Gogh's desire as a youth to be a Lutheran priest Showed just how strong were his religious compulsions, lie said. 5 Similarly, the painter was also noted for his persistent ifusal to finish conversations -- a clear indication of his viscosity" or inability to change behavior. £ "The last of his general symptoms -- his sudden •hanees in sexual behavior -- is not so obvious, I admit. I. Continued from Page 12B Nevertheless, I am sure that van Gogh's friendship with Gauguin, who joined him at Aries, probably went far beyond normal friendship, though there is nothing to prove this." In the past, psychologists have variously suggested that van Gogh -- who committed suicide in 1890, aged 37 -- suffered from schizophrenia, paranoia and digitalis poisoning. Khoshbin believes brain damage in infancy caused van Gogh to contract Geschwind's syndrome. "It is not possible to say if he could have been cured today. Given that this condition led van Gogh to such works of genius, I don't know if we would have wanted to cure him anyway." - •, - .. 11 Mum ROBERT MICHAEL STERLING 8/1/85 KENNETH KOZEL 8/6/85 AMBER MARIE TRAVERS 8/3/85 SAMUEL STEVEN JAMESTWINAM 7/31/85 ~y • v. .
