...exports, coffee prices are likely to be erratic for the next few months. Says Sandra Kaul, a research analyst with Shearson Lehman: "Even if there is plenty of coffee around, the flow of it will not be very smooth." Indonesia and other countries are not set up to ship significantly larger quantities...
Like a grim ghost ship, the broken space capsule sat on the ocean floor, 18 miles east of the launching pad at Cape Canaveral. Peering through the clear blue water of the Gulf Stream, U.S. Navy divers could make out the remains of several crew members of the space shuttle Challenger. The astronauts, some still strapped into their seats, had come to rest in 100 ft. of water after the long plunge from the sky on the icy morning last January that marked a crash landing for the U.S. space program...
NASA's woes were further accentuated by a Soviet coup. Just as U.S. television cameras were showing the Navy recovery ship, the U.S.S. Preserver, bringing to Port Canaveral its dolorous cargo in a flag-draped container last week, Soviet television was beaming to the world images of a triumph: the successful launch of a Soyuz spacecraft that carried a pair of cosmonauts to the Soviets' newest space station. Normally, the Soviets announce space shots only after they have been safely launched. Though last week's "live" telecast appeared to be risky--what if something had gone wrong?--the Soviets actually...
NASA and the Navy have tried to keep a tight lid on the recovery of the astronauts' bodies, but some details inevitably came to light. Discovered resting on the ocean floor by the 15-ship search fleet that has been scouring the waters off Canaveral since the Jan. 28 disaster, the Challenger's crew compartment, 16.5 ft. by 17.5 ft. by 16.3 ft., was ruptured but not completely destroyed. The lower mid-deck, where Astronauts Ronald McNair and Gregory Jarvis and New Hampshire Schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe had been seated, apparently absorbed the full force of the blast from the shuttle...
...said no." Other first-time directors, like Actress-Director Lee Grant (Tell Me a Riddle), were cowed with tough-guy analogies: a director must be a field marshal, a quarterback, a boardroom Svengali. "This producer asked me, 'But can you be the captain of a ship?' I was taken aback at the Captain Ahab image of dealing with sailors in a muscular world. Everyone can be a different kind of captain on a different kind of ship and bring in different kinds of results. You do have to be a damned good sailor, though...
