...Indians, said Walter Echo-Hawk, senior counsel for the Native American Rights Fund, the agreement marks the "beginning of the end of their spiritual nightmare." In fact, some scholarly institutions have gone further: Stanford University has consented to return an entire collection of skeletal remains of 550 Indians, most of them from the Ohlone tribe, to their descendants. Nonetheless, many curators and anthropologists are worried that a sweeping national policy would empty museums across the land. Scholars argue that preserved skeletons and other human artifacts, particularly those of great antiquity, provide essential information on problems ranging from the organization...
...military men from a NATO country, clambering on their sub or plucking their sailors from the sea. Later in the day, Soviet officials revealed that an air seal in the cooling unit of one of the vessel's nuclear reactors had ruptured. By that time, the stricken sub, an Echo II-class vessel with a crew of about 90 and believed to be carrying eight nuclear missiles, had begun crawling eastward under auxiliary diesel power, escorted by a Soviet freighter...
...reservations about Soviet reactor design, but deficiencies may be even worse in the areas of fire prevention, systems monitoring and damage control. The most recent accident indicates that the Soviet navy may be facing another problem common to all sub fleets: long-term stress in aging vessels. The Echo IIs were built in the early and mid-'60s; last week's accident could point to insufficient maintenance...
Another explanation -- that the problems extend beyond engineering and involve crew training -- came from an unexpected corner. In the current issue of the Soviet publication Smena, which went to press well before the Echo II accident, a Captain V. Ovchinnikov criticized in the letters column the training of submarine crews: "It will probably surprise you if I say that the nuclear installations on our submarines are operated by people who are not sufficiently trained, and some of them not trained at all. But we still set sail. The operators know and can do only 30% to 50% of what they...
Both Bull Durham and Field of Dreams echo with the American and Hollywood past. They blend hip showmanship and a vigorous Saturday-matinee innocence. But they work for an audience because Kevin Costner is in them. Virtually unknown three years ago, he is one of the few actors people will consistently line up to see. Men like him, women love him; when he walks into a room or a movie, the wistful lust of female fans sticks to him like decals. His name above the title guarantees quality; each of his hit movies is honorable and ambitious. And each gains...
