3. NATIONAL ACADEMY OF ENGINEERING: LAWYERS LICK THEIR CHOPS. 
Less than a year after his election as President of the National
Academy of Engineering, Harold Liebowitz was unelected by a vote
of 1179-179.  The Council of the National Academy of Sciences had
censured Liebowitz four months earlier (WN 1 Mar 96), but before
they could vote him out, NAE members had to approve a change in
bylaws to allow a recall.  Elected to the $270,000, perk-laden
job for a six-year term, he has vowed to take it to the courts.
