TIME Correspondents Dean Fischer and Roland Flamini, awakened by the first percussive blasts around 2 a.m., leaned far out their hotel windows to watch the spectacle. "I had awakened into a nightmare," says Fischer, who witnessed the aerial fireworks to the north, over Tripoli harbor. "When I saw the first flash of an exploding bomb, I knew it was for real," says Flamini, whose room faced south, toward Gaddafi's headquarters. Within minutes, TV correspondents in Tripoli were reporting live via telephone to the three anchormen of the nightly newscasts. A nation eavesdropped on telephone conversations between New York City...
Several minutes into the attack, two things went tragically wrong, possibly in connection with each other. One of the F-111s dropped its bombs in a residential area a mile south of the harbor, killing several civilians, destroying homes and damaging other buildings, including the French embassy and the Swiss Ambassador's residence. It seems highly coincidental, to say the least, that the bomb exploded only a few blocks from Libya's internal- security headquarters, reputedly a onetime haunt of the notorious terrorist Abu Nidal.

Moored in the harbor are dozens...

The calls fooled no one as the pursuers prepared for a long, dangerous hunt in the sparsely populated region, where there are countless places to hide and plenty of folks willing to harbor a fugitive, even if he is actually as mean and brutal as most of the Old West's false heroes...
...decker at the Forbes magazine tycoon's annual boat bash in Washington. The fifth Highlander (No. 4 was put up for sale in January) can cruise at 14 1/2 knots for up to 4,000 miles, but the New York-based vessel will be used almost exclusively for in-harbor excursions. "It's such a delightful facet of doing business," fizzes the energized owner, "despite the fact that yachts are not deductible as a business expense." For Forbes, living well is the best...
