Fogarty's 70-page report, which must still be reviewed by Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman William Crowe and Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci, contradicts key elements of what Admiral Crowe told the public about the shootdown shortly after it occurred on July 3. Crowe announced that the Aegis system had tracked the incoming "hostile" aircraft as traveling at 520 m.p.h., flying at 7,500 ft. and descending in a threatening path toward the U.S. warship. But the Aegis data reportedly showed the Airbus flying at about 400 m.p.h. at 12,000 ft. and climbing...
...says Kim Holmes of the conservative Heritage Foundation, "I don't think he would ever have called them the moral equivalent of the Founding Fathers." If Reagan's beau ideal of the swashbuckling American good guy is Oliver North, Bush seems to prefer Chester Crocker. He admires the low- key Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs for his seven-year quest (as yet unfulfilled) of a settlement in Angola and Namibia...
...unpretentious play of these styles. But not all of it. The script is rich in ambiguous allusions to the sustaining myths of old-fashioned popular fiction and the folklore of capitalism. It neither blandly accepts them nor blithely satirizes them. Bridges' portrayal of Tucker is in the same key. In the largest sense, he is fully, honestly committed to his dream. But there are lovely little moments when we feel his love of hype and con for their own sake, and sense that whatever the outcome of his enterprise, he knows he has already lifted himself to legendary status...
This year's rancorous strike has all but eliminated a normal fall TV season, thus threatening to reduce the networks' audience even further. The writers are expected to return to work this week, having won partial concessions on the two key economic issues -- their share of sales abroad and in U.S. syndicated reruns -- plus contract language that may enhance their creative control when scripts are being readied for production or when they languish unmade. But even with the typewriters and word processors clattering again, most returning series will need at least six to eight weeks to gear up before shooting...
...among others, to the first 18 hours of War and Remembrance, a $105 million adaptation of Herman Wouk's World War II novel. Originally scheduled for February, it was already in production before the strike began and in the absence of other strong programs was moved up to the key ratings month of November, when local-station ad rates are set. A few less grandiose series and made-for-TV movies have been stockpiled, are being made from prestrike scripts, or, as in the case of NBC's ALF and The Cosby Show, were advanced by separate early deals between...
