...Reading about the disaster for the second time, the reader feels a certain rage at the arrogance and idiocy that caused it, and cares enough about the astronauts--who had no inkling of the O-ring difficulty--to grieve for them. None but the most iron-hearted cynic could enjoy a space shuttle joke after reading this book...
Staffers at TIME learn to live with the necessary but often confining space constraints of journalism. Quite a number of them, however, have found an antidote for the weekly squeeze: writing books. "I enjoy the long haul of a book," says TIME Art Critic Robert Hughes, author of the best-selling The Fatal Shore (Knopf), a 688-page history of his native Australia's years as a British penal colony.

They would not tolerate the political conditions that Nicaraguans must suffer. There is no hope that Nicaraguans will enjoy anything near the liberty that Americans enjoy (and that the Nicaraguans were promised by the Sandinistas) unless their new tyranny is removed. How, then, does it serve American values to cut off aid to those trying to do the removing...
