...Olympic Games can be almost as important to broadcasters as they are to athletes. The network that carries the Games can usually count on huge worldwide audiences and hundreds of millions of advertising dollars. As an added bonus, viewers tend to go on watching the network's shows for months after the competition ends. Last week the International Olympic Committee announced that NBC had won the rights to the 1988 Games in South Korea by agreeing to pay the Seoul Olympic Committee at least $300 million.

As an added bonus, a rendezvous with G-Z, as NASA scientists call it, could occur six months ahead of the Halley encounter. Farquhar began petitioning NASA officials to spend the meager $3 million it would take to commandeer ISEE-3. To his surprise, the allocation was approved before he had figured...
