...weeks ago, leaning on the letter of that law and the essential provision of presumed innocence, the diver Bruce Kimball posted bail on a double vehicular-manslaughter charge and instantly sprang back into the pike position. But he lost his Olympic trial and soon must turn to the other kind. What page of the paper suited this sad specter whose face was flattened by a drunk driver seven years ago? Since then he has garnered six traffic citations of his own, and one Olympic silver medal...
Daisy Miller, only shriller. That's how European filmmakers have often pictured the American woman. In Luc Besson's The Big Blue, Arquette has to whine, pout, plead, giggle, all to get the attention of an otherworldly deep- ( sea diver (Jean-Marc Barr). But he has eyes only for dolphins and, vagrantly, for his fiercest competitor (Jean Reno). Two men dive to the depths -- and, perhaps, the death -- while she stays behind and paints Barr's apartment. Arquette has always looked like the last wanton of Woodstock, taunting the zippered-up '80s with her lithe carnality. But here...

Hammadi is accused of participating in the 1985 hijacking of a TWA Boeing 727 and the killing of U.S. Navy Diver Robert Stethem, 23, who was savagely beaten, shot in the head and then thrown onto the tarmac at Beirut airport. The Reagan Administration sought Hammadi's extradition after his arrest last year at Frankfurt airport, but Bonn refused, partly because of pressure by Shi'ite militants holding two West German hostages...
...most professional team of air pirates yet encountered, took elaborate precautions against revealing their identities. Yet Washington, citing accounts from released hostages, says one of the gunmen is Hassan Izz-al-Din, a Lebanese who is believed to have been directly involved in the killing of U.S. Navy Diver Robert Stethem during the hijacking of TWA Flight 847 in 1985. Said Secretary of State George Shultz, speaking in Helsinki en route to pre-summit meetings in Moscow: "I don't think ((releasing the hijackers)) is a proper thing to do." But he declined to "second-guess" Algeria...
