"We reject female pilots on principle because passengers want a man with the image of a hero." So says one leading airline company according to a West German report. It is just one of many reasons which bar women from traditional male strongholds. Yet the traditional role of the glamorous female has been successfully encroached upon by international coverboys.
Two reports from West German television.

Why is a man at his sexiest at seven in the morning? Why do we get drunker at lunchtime than dinner? The answer - Body Time. Recent research suggests that man possesses a series of internal 'biological clocks' which control most of his physical and mental functions. As we no longer live a 'normal' life it is becoming increasingly important to health and happiness to know where they are located and how they work, that if we are driving or working late at night, 4 am is the danger hour: our temperature is lowest, we're at our least efficient and most prone to accidents.
The investigation of Body Time is one of the most intriguing frontiers of science.
