Another conspiracy theory was raised in an unusually speculative article in Defence Attaché, a generally respected London journal. An editor's note disclaimed agreement with the views of the author, who wrote under a pen name. The author's basic claim was that the KAL intrusion on Sept. 1 deliberately coincided with the Far East passes of both a U.S. spy satellite and the space shuttle Challenger. In his version, the airliner was sent over Soviet territory instead of a U.S. electronic-surveillance aircraft because U.S. officials believed that the Soviets would never shoot down a civilian...
...scandals attach to Watteau's name, although he was said to have burned a few paintings he considered obscene a few days before he died.

Last week an anonymous author in the British magazine Defence Attaché accused the U.S. of accidentally provoking the attack by using the airliner to gather intelligence about Soviet air defenses. The plane, the author said, deliberately overflew Soviet territory in order to test Soviet reflexes as the space shuttle Challenger and a U.S. Ferret-D electronic data-gathering satellite watched from above...
Collins had discovered a secret weapon to get his tanks by Normandy's dense hedgerows. A sergeant in the 2nd Armored Division devised a way to attach to the front of a tank a pair of saw-toothed tusks, made from the steel barricades that once obstructed the landing beaches. These tusks could hack through a hedgerow in a few minutes...
