(AP) — There is no way Thomas Root’s re volver could have discharged acci dentally when his plane crashed into Bahamian waters after his autopilot flight last week, the gun’s manufac turer said Tuesday. “Absolutely not,” Dick Bachmann, Smith & Wesson vice president, said from Springfield, Mass. “It can’t happen.” The gun’s safety mech anism would make such a firing im possible, he said. Federal investigators have said the 36-year-old attorney’s claim that he doesn’t remember a gunshot is the major inconsistency in his version of the flight of his single-engine Cessna, crash and rescue at sea Thursday. Andrew Alston, National Trans portation Safety Board investigator, said earlier that investigators would talk to Smith & Wesson to see if the .32-caliber revolver could have dis charged on its own. Bachmann said Smith & Wesson officials reacted with “disbelief’ to the accounts suggesting the gun fired accidentally. Root’s relatives said they thought the revolver may have been cocked accidentally before Root fell unconscious when he reached into the glove compartment for a com pact disc. The gun then apparently fired, Root suggested, when the out- of-fuel plane smacked into the wa ter. He has stoutly denied that the wound to his abdomen was self-in flicted. “Whatever the circumstances of the particular situation, the Smith 8c Wesson double-action revolver will only fire a cartridge when the trig ger is pulled back and held to the rear,” Bachmann told the Associated Press. “There’s an automatic internal safety feature that is designed into the lockwork,” Bachmann said. “Un less the trigger is pulled to the rear and held, there is no way the ham mer nose can impact the primer of the cartridge.” Officials at Hollywood’s Memorial Hospital, where Root remained in stable condition Tuesday, said his family declined to be interviewed. Root hasn’t responded to AP re quests for interviews. The NTSB said Alston will have a news conference at the hospital Wednesday to discuss its investiga tion. Root was bound from Washington to Rocky Mount, N.C., when he told air traffic controllers he was having trouble breathing. Military pilots who trailed the plane reported see ing the pilot slumped over the con trols. Hundreds of miles to the south, the plane ran out of fuel and plunged into the sea near the Baha mas, and rescuers pulled Root alive from the water.

A recent international business survey found the predictions at the outset of the 1980s that high technology would produce more leisure time have not come true. Instead, longer hours are common, stress lev els higher and the amount of time available for family and social life has lessened. “Our observations are that people have be come exhausted,” Daniel Stamp, president of Priority Management, said in an interview. “I think the ’80s were a time of of massive, massive change,” he said. The training company’s survey of business people Stamp described as “middle management and above” found 85 percent worked more than 45 hours each week, 89 percent take work home and 65 percent work more than one weekend each month. Forty-eight percent of those surveyed said they experience stress every day and 81 percent said they suffer stress at least one time each week. The stress is seen most commonly by head aches and anger and its causes are listed first as the job, second as interruptions and third as the manager or supervisor. The survey of 1,000 people around the world Ha\ footba have,i Angie: South 1 Act had a response rate of 41.1 percent. Stamp said he believed it was highly accurate. Among the other findings were that executives are spending more time traveling, but not on hol idays. It found 26 percent spend more than five weeks each year on business trips and 62 percent take two weeks or less of vacation. The survey also found signs that family and social life may be suffering as a result of the trend toward longer hours. Although 52 percent said they spend at least one hour daily with their children, 27 percent said they spend less than 15 minutes. “It doesn’t make you happy working like this,” Stamp said. “It’s going to inevitably reflect on the working day.” Stamp, whose office windows offer a pan oramic view of Vancouver’s magnificent skyline of skyscrapers, sea and snow-capped mountains, came to Canada from Britain in 1979. His experience had been in academics, and as he moved into the business world he found him self snowed under by the demands of the faster pace. “I discovered that nobody had these skills,” said the trim, bearded, 43-year-old. “I thought it wasjust me who was going to pieces.” The company was started in Vancouver in 1984, offering a “Time:Text” program that tea ches how to set priorities and get organized, pkkec idq Priority Management, now headquartered this ye Irving, Texas, has 200 franchised offices.

Myquei tion is, do people practice it?” Bush says he takes offense to book Candidates in that portrays Quayle as lightweight WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush said Tues day he was offended by Republican advisers who por trayed Dan Quayle as a campaign disaster who had to be protected from his own political ineptitude. In a new book by Jules Witcover and Jack Germond, several consultants to last year’s Bush-Quayle election campaign depict the vice presidential candidate as a lightweight who was not ready for the national political scene. One of the “handlers” employed by the Bush team to manage Quayle’s campaign travels, Joseph Canzeri, said the former Indiana senator was tough to work with because he had a limited attention span, the “impa tience of youth.” “He’s a fairly quick study, but about what he wants to hear,” Canzeri was quoted as saying in the book, “Whose Broad Stripes and Bright Stars? The Trivial Pursuit of the Presidency 1988.” “If he doesn’t like it, he goes away from it,” Canzeri said. “He was like a kid. Ask him to turn off a light, and by the time he gets to the switch, he’s forgotten what he went for.” Canzeri said the handlers “knew we were going to have to script him.” The book also indicates that James Lake, the former Reagan campaign press secretary who advised Quayle, was dismayed at some of Quayle’s remarks on television as controversy about his Vietnam-era National Guard service heightened. At one point, when the campaign wanted Quayle to refrain from answering questions so as not to over shadow Bush’s convention acceptance speech, Lake said, “Quayle wanted to answer those questions. I just pushed him aside.” Houston mayor’s race amass funds HOUSTON (AP) — Mayor Kali Whitmire and her top challenge former Mayor Fred Hofheinz, have amassed campaign war chi in the range of $ 1 million aboutft months before the city's mayoi election.
