Fifty foreign correspondents in Mexico City held a vigil of commemoration and rather wistfully urged greater safety for reporters. But journalists conceded that in battle, caution may matter less than fate. The war-hardened correspondents' judgment on their slain peers: Torgerson and Cross had run out of luck. (Indeed, only chance limited the deaths to two: Stringers Susan Morgan of London's Economist and Marcia Johnson of ABC and the Los Angeles Times, dropped out of the trip...
...recovery that are now so evident in the U.S. have finally reached the countries of Western Europe. Buoyant American optimism about the strength of the recovery, however, has so far failed to make the transatlantic crossing. Meeting in Vienna last week, the TIME European Board of Economists showed a caution bordering on skepticism about early evidence that the three-year-long grueling recession was at last over. The board's forecast for the nine major European countries* predicted recovery, but it was hardly cheery: growth will be only 1.5% this year and 2.5% in 1984; inflation will recede from...

Says Frank Farrell, president of the electronic-publishing division: "We intend to break the constrictions of the printed page and make reading more dynamic." The firm is already planning a videodisc encyclopedia that may use laser technology.

Boat People by Ann Hui of Hong Kong was withdrawn from competition, reportedly at the insistence of the French government, which is seeking to solidify its relations with the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam. The caution is understandable: this film, shot partly in mainland China, is a powerful piece of humanist propaganda about a family trying to escape Da Nang three years after the U.S. forces evacuated Viet...
Stern's management had accepted Heidemann's tales, and his purchases, with an amazing lack of skepticism or even normal caution. As its editors conceded last week, the magazine took possession of the first diaries more than two years ago. Yet Stern waited until after publication to subject the documents to the routine chemical tests that proved them fakes. Stern did consult handwriting experts, but the "authentic" Hitler artifacts supplied to the analysts for crosschecking may also have been forgeries: they were obtained from Heidemann's personal collection and thus, possibly, from Fischer. In self-defense, Heidemann...
