...exhaustive coverage raised broader questions about the appropriate role of journalists in such a crisis. Pentagon Spokesman Michael Burch charged that news organizations were abetting the terrorists by reporting U.S. military movements, including the deployment of the Delta Force antiterrorist unit. Burch was especially angry at NBC and ABC, which reported within hours after the hijacking that Delta Force had departed the U.S.; NBC added that it was headed for the Mediterranean. "It may have been one of the reasons for the erratic movements of the TWA hijackers (between Beirut and Algiers)," said Burch. CBS, A.P. and U.P.I. refrained from...
...addition to the best and the brightest, the class of '58 has the bravest. Jason Gilbert, a thoroughly assimilated Jewish Adonis and the school's finest tennis player, surprises all by becoming a superhero in one of Israel's elite antiterrorist units. The last two in Segal's crimson quintet are Townie Theodore Lambros, son of a Greek restaurant owner, who fulfills his ambition to be a Harvard professor; and Banker Andrew Eliot, whose family ties to the university go back 300 years. For the record, the women in the book are all beautiful, intelligent and interchangeable...

The plot may have been the one brazenly promised by the shadowy Islamic Jihad group two days before the U.S. presidential election, when the terrorists promised to mount a violent operation that...
...preoccupy the British public. In Brighton, where the most seriously injured victims of the blast remained under police guard, detectives were following up clues, and bomb experts were sifting through the ruins of the Grand Hotel. Their efforts yielded what Commander Bill Hucklesby, head of Scotland Yard's antiterrorist branch, called "significant items." Police theorize that the bomb, possibly wrapped in plastic to hide its odor from police dogs, was planted behind a panel in a bathroom of the hotel by I.R.A.
