Celebrities praised Milken's work on community projects. "I have never met the equal of Michael Milken," declared Monty Hall, who hosted the former television game show Let's Make a Deal and is an officer of the Variety Clubs International children's charity. Hall said Milken has donated generously to the charity through the Milken Family Foundations (estimated assets: $350 million).

Four papers -- the broadsheet New York Times (circ. 1.1 million) and three tabloids, the Post (504,000), the New York Daily News (1.2 million) and New York Newsday (230,000) -- managed to make it through the booming 1980s.

On April 28, when the U.S. was scheduled to launch a space shuttle, the technicians triumphantly declared that the lift-off had been detected and tracked. Several hours later, NASA announced that the takeoff had been postponed...
...Open, a 15,000-sq.-mi. chunk of struggling central Montana that would be linked cooperatively by public and private owners into a wildlife range for 300,000 buffalo, deer, antelope and elk. His figures suggested that on the average, the 3,000 people living there would make more tending to tourists and hunters than from ranching and farming. Writer Douglas Coffman, who helped Scott, saw even more: a chance to recapture a bit of the original American heart, something brave and wild. Coffman, who is writing a novel about the return of the buffalo -- the fulfillment of a prayer...
