...allied Caribbean forces were coordinating their assault on Grenada, TIME was engineering a landing of its own. After a five-hour voyage in an open boat, Caribbean Correspondent Bernard Diederich headed ashore on D-day to find the capital city of St. George's still in the hands of Grenada's People's Revolutionary Army.

...upside down: the show at the U.S. Air Force base in Ramstein, West Germany, this month was flashy enough to draw some 300,000 enthusiastic spectators. Yet as the display appeared on West German television and in newspapers and magazines, the main event seemed not to have been the five-hour show, but rather the largely nonviolent arrest of about 250 left-wing demonstrators by U.S. military police.

The two-part, five-hour production now enlivening the stage of Minneapolis' Guthrie Theater becomes a 17th of considerable distinction. The scenic effects are accomplished with stunning finesse (heightened by Santo Loquasto's virtuoso set design of mirrored panels). Rumanian Director Liviu Ciulei (pronounced Leave-you Chew-lay), artistic director of the Guthrie, never scants the intellectual, philosophical and refreshingly comical ramifications of the play. This Peer Gynt only fitfully moves the heart, however, and that...
...five-hour whip through the Boston area Wednesday, President Reagan touted high-technology electronics and computer firms as "America's future" and met with both plant officials and students in training at a local center. But an ad-lib comment to executives calling for the elimination of corporate income taxes ended up attracting the most attention...
