...work for their release by abandoning his policy against negotiating with terrorists. "You negotiated over the hostages from the TWA plane," the letter read. "We are asking for the same consideration. There is no alternative." The letters complained that the hostages were being held without "proper exercise, sanitation, fresh air or balanced diet." The White House reaffirmed its longstanding policy against negotiating with terrorists, but Administration Spokesman Edward Djerejian nonetheless declared that the U.S. was prepared to "talk with the abductors themselves to obtain the release of the hostages."

Keeping old shows fresh is a perennial challenge for network programmers. But their efforts have taken on more urgency this fall as a number of long-running hits have begun to sag in the ratings. Dynasty and Dallas, which finished one-two in last year's Nielsens, have slipped to the middle of the top-ten pack. Falcon Crest, another top-ten finisher last season, is now being beaten regularly by Miami Vice. The A-Team, last season's No. 6-ranked show, has dropped to 19th place, and Magnum, P.I., blitzed by competition from the new ratings champion...

In many cases, too, the music is stronger, bolder than on the originals, since Compilers Bruce Dickinson, Don DeVito and Jeff Jones worked from the original tapes, which were then mastered digitally...
...Australia's infrastructure and work practices. Exports could have been even higher. Long queues of ships kept waiting off Dalrymple Bay in Queensland to load coking coal for China symbolize the problems. In this year's iron ore negotiations, Chinese buyers settled for a 71.5% price increase (BHP Billiton, fresh from securing a 25-year supply contract, had sought to double its price via a rise in the freight rate it charges mills). Chinese officials say supply bottlenecks are to blame for the price hikes. Ambassador Fu has raised the issue with Australian officials. "There is strong investment...
