...goal in the airintercept operation. By that time, the four P.L.F. hijackers aboard the Boeing 737 at the Sigonella air base in Sicily had been taken into Italian custody and charged with murder, kidnaping and hijacking. But the mysterious Abul Abbas had literally flown the coop, aboard a Yugoslav JAT jet bound from Rome to Dubrovnik and Belgrade. Back at Camp David, when President Reagan received word from Deputy National Security Adviser Admiral John Poindexter of Abbas' escape, he cursed mildly...
Father (Miki Manojlovic) is a functionary in the Yugoslav Department of Labor and, whenever he gets the chance, a dedicated philanderer. During a tryst on a train, he deflects pleas of love from a randy gym teacher with an offhand "Who loves anybody in this madhouse?"

Evander Holyfield, 21, an unheralded, hard-slugging light heavyweight from Atlanta who had won his first three bouts by knockouts, suffered a bizarre loss to a thoroughly outclassed Kevin Barry of New Zealand. Holyfield was disqualified for striking a blow after the Yugoslav referee had ordered a break. Never mind that the punch knocked out Barry; never mind that Barry had been fouling Holyfield and was on the verge of disqualification; never mind that Holyfield probably could not have heard the referee's command over the crowd noise.
