...because of a golden statue of the goddess of victory that crowns the monument. Built in the second half of the 19th century to commemorate Prussian victories against the French, the Danes and Austria, the column has been a backdrop for various mass events, such as the annual "Love Parade," a huge open-air techno party. The right location, some commentators only half-jokingly remarked, for a political rock star...
...some 80 ft. above the ground. Landing the shuttle in California means spending $1 million for each return to the Florida launch site. In past years, the report says, the unrealistic flight schedules NASA had proposed had never been adequately funded by Washington. Under NASA's current $7.3 billion annual budget, spare parts were running so short that the commission projected that this year's flight schedule would have been sharply curtailed even without a Challenger disaster. Reagan gave James Fletcher, NASA's new administrator, 30 days to explain how he intends to implement the commission's recommendations. A more...
...appearance of Robertson, Kemp and Dole in Denver signaled that abortion has become a litmus-test issue for right-wing support in G.O.P. presidential politics. By coincidence, the three-day right-to-life meeting took place only five blocks away from a hotel that was host to the annual convention of the National Organization for Women, one of the most vocal advocates of free choice.

Irwin Cohen, president of Virginia- based ILM Corp., a data-processing firm, points out that ILM's Jamaican subsidiary was founded in 1964 to meet a shortage of American computer operators.

Gathered last week in four Atlanta auditoriums linked by closed-circuit television, 40,462 ''messengers'' to the annual Southern Baptist Convention clapped their hands and sang, ''Give me that old-time religion; it's good enough for me.'' That is just what they got moments later, when it was announced that they had elected an ardent Fundamentalist as the new president of the nation's largest (14.5 million members) Protestant denomination. The victory of Memphis Pastor Adrian Rogers, who insists upon a strictly literal interpretation of the Bible, marked the eighth consecutive presidential victory for Baptist Fundamentalists since 1979, when...
