Under intense pressure, Rogers had the Vincennes beam seven warning messages -- three on a civilian radio frequency, four on a military one -- at the approaching aircraft; the nearby frigate Sides chipped in with five more. The pilot of the Airbus never answered -- although he had been chattering away to the control tower at Bandar Abbas throughout his brief flight. His last words: "I am at level one-two-zero ((12,000 ft.)), climbing to one-four-zero ((14,000 ft.))."

Richard Gephardt used satellite technology last week to appear on local newscasts in a variety of primary and caucus states. But even with the aid of such global-village campaigning, Gephardt fell victim to the disorientation of life on the fly. A pesky interviewer wondered where Gephardt was broadcasting from. Unfortunately, the candidate's initial guess (Waco, Texas) was off by 90 miles; Gephardt was in fact in Austin...
