There is no substitute for the agent in the field to provide reporting on the intentions of foreign nations. "You can photograph and intercept all the messages that ultrasophisticated technology allows," says a West German expert. "But these cannot provide the sense of a place, the smell, sound and color that can tell so much." Because of declining morale and fear of leaks, CIA networks overseas have broken down. The agent who works abroad is often on his own. Says Jack Maury, onetime CIA chief of Soviet operations: "You can't just give orders from the top and expect...
...prevent that, NASA engineers had devised a daring rescue. The new space shuttle, slated to make its first flight in September, would intercept Skylab, attach a small booster engine to one end, then fire it. Thus space planners could either raise Skylab.to a higher orbit or send it plunging harmlessly into an ocean. Last week, after weighing the chances of such an orbital operation, NASA conceded defeat. That means Skylab will expire in a meteorite-like death that could scatter parts of the space station on populated regions...

...have access to the Brown family. Doctors and hospital personnel were also exasperatingly inaccessible. Frustration ran high, and after a bomb threat was called in to the hospital, there were rumors that it had been made by a reporter or photographer who, as a last resort, planned to intercept Lesley Brown as she was being evacuated from the building. (She was indeed moved, but only to a different part of the hospital.) Snarled a hospital guard at a cluster of reporters who had stationed themselves just under Lesley Brown's room: "You bastards, don't you care about the baby...
