...prosaic commuter craft drops out of a blue-black sky and taxis down the flight line, past Rockwell International, which is testing the B-1B bomber; past General Dynamics and the F-16; past Fairchild Republic and its T-46 trainers; past the Army, testing Black Hawk helicopters; past McDonnell Douglas, at work on the F-15; and just beyond the Air Force and its antisatellite system; and comes to rest outside the Northrop hangar, wherein the Tigershark resides. Our innocent is not met by a sales rep; rather, Roy Martin, a test pilot, blond and angular and wearing...
...taken by the indefatigable traveler Voyager 2 as it approached its Jan. 24 rendezvous with the solar system's seventh planet. On that day, the spacecraft will swoop to within 50,000 miles of Uranus, which last week still looked to Voyager's cameras like a featureless, cloud-covered, blue-green disk. The temporary designation of the new moon, 1985 Ul, seems rather prosaic when compared with Uranus' five other satellites: Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and Oberon. But that should change this summer when the International Astronomical Union meets to assign permanent names to new discoveries. The I.A.U. might have...
...pals call her Fergie. But really, Princess Fergie will never do. Still, Sarah Ferguson, 26, is the latest lass to catch the fancy of Prince Andrew, 25, and this has Britons wondering whether Randy Andy is finally over Blue Koo Stark and is now serious about fairer Sarah. Friends whisper that he still carries a torch for the soft-porn film actress.

She was first spotted with Andrew last June...
...busy, triumphant night for Harold Ezell. Outfitted in a blue blazer and striped tie, the Government's most ardent alien chaser jumped into a helicopter and rode along as it sent a piercing searchlight across the hills and arroyos south of San Diego. Then he scrambled into a pickup truck and peered through a nightscope to watch his agents tear through the chaparral in Dodge Ram Charger "war wagons" to overtake groups of Mexicans trying to sneak into the U.S. Later, he proudly counted the day's total arrests: 2,643 illegal immigrants. Nudging a companion, Ezell declared...
...unseasonably warm and the sky was clear blue. In meteorological and in diplomatic terms, there was a thaw in the air last week when Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze arrived in Tokyo to begin a five-day visit, the first to Japan by a Soviet Foreign Minister since Andrei Gromyko, now the Soviet President, stepped on Japanese soil ten years ago. The latest visitor set an optimistic note, declaring his hope that the two nations will be blown closer together by a "wind of change...
