information about a contract's SOW, milestones, DT/OT/IOC, etc.,
published in a newspaper article. Or in a website article. Or in a
magazine article. I generally see snippets of info on that sort of
thing in the presentations put out by the Program Office's or
Manufacturer/Prime Contractor's Power Point Rangers.

I think maybe you're not reading the right magazines, then. The serious
trade press (Defense Daily, Aerospace Daily, Inside the Pentagon, etc.) will
often discuss milestones, DT/OT, IOC dates, and so forth. A lot of this
info will even show up in slightly less hard-core pubs like Aviation Week
and Defense News.

Fair bust, Tom. I *was* remiss in not being specific, in that I meant
general interest magazines rather than the "trade" press. Gomenasai,
boy-san.
