...vocabularies they had heard so many times on television beaming in from their weightless heroes. "That's affirmative," one camper would say, all business, laconic: "You are a go for nominal de-orbit burn."

"We're bringin' this bird home!" the commander of one mission cried when he was go for re-entry...
...well-known communications and electronics corporation admitted last week that it illegally received secret Pentagon papers. Gee! No, GTE. In U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va., the Justice Department charged that from 1978 to 1983 GTE's government-systems unit obtained classified defense budget plans.

"Well, I am getting older," he says as he finishes his stretching exercises on the floor of his ABC office. "That's quite an observation." But is David Hartman weary? "I'm just as excited about this job as I ever was." So saying, Hartman...
Where does the world's most famous teenager go to celebrate the end of her teens? Gosh, gee, well, why not a male strip joint? Accompanied by her mother and a retinue of 17 femme friends (some from Princeton), Brooke Shields oh-oh- ogled the boys at Chippendales in Manhattan as one G-string-clad male after another gyrated in her direction. "She was giggling," reported a guest to the New York Post. "Sometimes she looked scared. She was very natural, very receptive, very nice to them."
