...interns have spent the summer at SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, PEOPLE and other publications. Here at TIME, five labor right alongside their professional counterparts in different departments. Last month, as a reporter-researcher in the Nation section, Stanford senior Frank Quaratiello interviewed a survivor of the United Airlines DC-10 crash in Sioux City, Iowa, and is writing the Milestones section for this issue. Karla Bruner, a University of Missouri at Columbia graduate, has researched stories ranging from Cuba and Argentina to Burma and Greece for our World section. As managing editor of the Harvard International Review, Mark Suzman has come...
...airline passengers during this busy traveling summer had qualms about flying aboard a DC-10, last week's drumbeat of new troubles gave them no consolation. Eight days after United Airlines Flight 232 crash-landed in Sioux City, Iowa, killing 111 of its 286 passengers and crew, a Korean Air Lines DC- 10 carrying 199 people plowed into an olive grove near Tripoli, Libya. As was the case in Sioux City, a majority of those aboard the KAL flight survived, but as many as 80 were killed. The same day in Los Angeles a United DC-10 had another close...

Approaching Tripoli's airport in a dense morning fog, the pilot decided to land, even though only an hour earlier an arriving Soviet Aeroflot jet had prudently detoured to Malta. The KAL plane missed the runway by more than a mile, cartwheeled and slammed into two cars and two farmhouses...
Philip Corboy doesn't need to chase ambulances. They seem to chase him. Just one day after the July 19 crash of United Airlines Flight 232 in Sioux City, Iowa, the white-thatched, patrician-looking Chicago attorney was asked for legal help by the family of one of the survivors. Within 24 hours, Corboy had filed the first lawsuit to come out of the disaster. Since then, he has received calls from twelve other people involved in the crash. His fee, if he wins: as much as one-third of the damages...
