...ambiguity about Glenn is gone. He is seen as a loving husband and a natural leader, unhesitant to put principles above career. Here he is humming The Battle Hymn of the Republic during reentry, there he is waving to the thousands crammed along the route of a ticker-tape parade. The heroic depiction of Glenn would be unremarkable except for one thing: the real life John Glenn, now 62 and the senior Senator from Ohio, is running for the Democratic presidential nomination. Never before has a major candidate been featured (and favorably, at that) in a big-budget Hollywood film...
...tape got a full airing at noon Tuesday, in the most theatrical scene at the U.N. Security Council in a generation. The council chamber was dominated by two 21-in. TV screens placed on shoulder-high stands behind the horseshoe-shaped delegates' desk; three smaller monitors were aimed at the press and visitors' galleries. When U.S. Ambassador Kirkpatrick rolled the tapes, delegates and visitors could hear on their headsets simultaneous translations in all six official languages at the U.N. The TV screens showed the words of the pilots in Russian and English letters, and a map with moving lines represented...
...distance, his back to a large TV screen directly behind him, while members of his staff twisted around in their seats to look. Troyanovsky had been put in an impossible position by his government, which at that point was admitting nothing. In reply to the playing of the tape, the Soviet Ambassador could only lamely recite a long catalogue of alleged U.S. violations of Soviet airspace. Apparently unknown to him, Moscow was on the point of releasing a TASS statement admitting that the KAL flight had been "stopped." A few hours later, still looking impassive, Troyanovsky read the new TASS...
...ground, at the Wakkanai radar installation on the Japanese island of Hokkaido, and probably elsewhere in the area, voice-activated tape recorders chronicled the unfolding drama. The transcript of the air-to-ground conversations, made public last week, is excerpted and explained below. The chronology is in Greenwich Mean Time (G.M.T.), using a 24-hour clock (1800 hours, for example, means 6 p.m. G.M.T. and 2 p.m. E.D.T.). Although the full transcript shows four planes in contact with ground controllers, only two closed in for the kill. The number 805 identifies the pilot of the Su-15 who shot down...
Thicke, 35, who settled in Los Angeles in 1970, is a man of many hyphens: comedy writer-producer-singer-songwriter. Until last December, he still commuted to Vancouver to tape his highly popular Canadian daytime talk show. Thicke is a performer who can do everything, kind of. On his new show he sings and plays the guitar like a grownup Rick Springfield. As a conversationalist he can be gently witty, without Letterman's sting or Carson's quickness. "I'm cool in the McLuhan sense," he says. Describing himself as an Everyman, he is uncomfortable with...
