...members, survived the fireball loosed by the Jan. 28 shuttle explosion, and then dropped to the ocean in a nine-mile fall lasting three to four minutes. The photos, which NASA released last week under pressure from a presidential investigation commission, were taken by a high-speed telephoto tracking camera two miles from the launching pad. They show what appears to be an intact crew cabin sailing out and away from the blast, raising new questions about whether the astronauts could have survived had Challenger been equipped with parachutes or escape rockets.

...posed for the photo session in the drawing room at Sandringham, Queen Elizabeth was unusually open and relaxed. No wonder, since the man behind the camera was her shutterbug son Prince Andrew. The Queen was so pleased with the results that Andrew, 26, was chosen as the official photographer for his mother's 60th birthday, the celebration of which began last week with a service in St. George's Chapel at Windsor.

Instead of someone in Washington reporting the news from official statements, CBS sent camera crews out in the field to picture school closings and factory layoffs. Sauter likes to talk about capturing the big emotional "moments." He chewed his staff out when it failed to show a picture of Nancy Reagan dabbing a tear from her eye at a memorial service for servicemen and -women...
Those clever Icelanders. Who knew that they secretly craved glamour and attention, the thrill of camera lights and sound bites? And what better way to capture the limelight than to play host to a meeting of the two most powerful men in the world? There were times last week when it seemed as if publicity-savvy Icelanders, not Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, had initiated the summit that was not a summit strictly to promote their little island: Iceland the beautiful; Iceland the restful; Iceland, home of friendly blond-haired people with unpronounceable names who believe in elves...
