Bochco has remained closely involved in the series, overseeing everything from casting and budgets to regular story conferences. Casually dressed in jeans and sneakers and idly tossing a football during meetings, he is adept at managing the show's complex story lines as well as a crew of collaborators. "I see myself as more of a chorus member than a soloist," he says. "I'm good at creating an environment in which people can function creatively...
Experts point out that the Air Force drawing may be somewhat misleading. Several details, like the placement of the engine-exhaust outlets, have been deliberately masked. Others, including crew size and maximum payload, along with such flight characteristics as range, airspeed and cruising altitude, remain strictly classified. The Air Force does acknowledge, however, that the plane is going to cost more than projected. The fleet of 132 bombers, originally priced at $36.6 billion, could cost twice as much by the time it is airborne in the 1990s...
Escorted by a small flotilla that included a Greek navy torpedo boat and two coast guard vessels, the champion cyclist kept in constant radio contact with the M.I.T. command crew. He advised them of his physical condition every 15 minutes, and they reported changes in wind velocity and direction.

Next thing the pilot-athlete knew, he was swimming toward shore, where an enthusiastic mob surged forward to greet...
...wallpaper after a food fight, you will feel right at home. Watching three of the segments (based on hit songs from Un Ballo in Maschera, La Forza del Destino and Rigoletto), purists could sneer at Aria as MTV -- Movies Trash Verdi. But Producer Don Boyd and his crew want to revive the old music's passion and fun, not to mock its petrified conventions. And as often as not, the film succeeds. This is high culture dolled up as pop culture, aesthetics for the anesthetized, opera for the inoperative...
...plainer. If the Iranian patrol boat Joshan approached any closer to the U.S. guided-missile cruiser Wainwright, Chandler warned the Iranian craft by radio, "it is my intention to sink you." The Joshan's reply came quickly in the form of a deadly antiship missile. Chandler immediately ordered his crew to fire a hail of aluminum chaff into the air, which deflected the missile by confusing its radar guidance system. Moments later a second ship in the U.S. gulf convoy, the frigate Simpson, unleashed an SM-1 missile. It scored a direct hit, sinking the Joshan, killing 15 Iranian crewmen...
