...incident, the judges decided, Cohn spent nearly two decades evading repayment of a $100,000 loan from a woman whose divorce he had handled in 1966. Cohn claimed the money was simply an advance against future services, but the court cited 23 documents, some of them written by Cohn himself, indicating that it was a loan. Cohn's firm returned the money in 1984, but only after the misconduct proceedings against him had started. The court also found that a $94,000 escrow account entrusted to Cohn's firm was misappropriated in a "bizarre series of events," and that...
Enter Glen Kuban. "I decided that if it really was true, somebody ought to go down and document it better," he says. "If it wasn't true, then that ought to be demonstrated better too." He found that shallow grooves at the front of the tracks were typical of dinosaurs, not humans, and that the tracks widened at the front more than human prints would. It was not until later, Kuban recalls, that he noticed toeprints, outlined in the same bluish-gray material that helps distinguish the tracks from the tan-ivory surrounding rock. Further study revealed similar tracks...
...hopes of stimulating similar long-term thinking and national commitment, the Paine commission produced a glossy, colorfully illustrated 211-page report that implicitly dismisses the worries about America's current space failures as the product of small minds and faint hearts.

Simultaneously, research would proceed on both an aerospace plane (President Reagan's so-called Orient Express), capable of taking...
...East German government had no immediate response when the three Western countries that occupy West Berlin--the U.S., Britain and France--began conducting tough document checks of Arab diplomats entering the divided city from the East. The heightened security was a response to the April 5 bombing of West Berlin's La Belle disco, in which an American soldier was killed. The U.S. charged that Libyan diplomats based in East Berlin had helped plan the blast. But East Germany's passive acceptance of the new vigilance masked a determination to even the score. Last week East German border guards started...
...special session to debate relief measures for the yen. By preventing parliament from recessing, the Prime Minister could exercise his power to dissolve the lower house and call elections. If that happens, political observers give Nakasone a good chance of revising the party's restrictive rule. "It is a document that is easy to change," said an L.D.P. official. If Nakasone fails in his bid for new elections, however, his chances for another term are slim indeed...
