...cast and crew say that summer theater is very different from productions during the year. "When you work up, during the year, to those few performances, the adrenaline's really there. It's harder to get pumped up during the summer," says Kristen Gasser...
...Viet Nam, but never got there. At about 3 a.m. on Feb. 17, 1970, in the MacDonalds" apartment at Fort Bragg, N.C., his wife Colette, 26, pregnant with their third child, was killed; she was stabbed 37 times in the chest and neck. The MacDonald daughters, Kimberly, 5, and Kristen, 2 were murdered so savagely that the Army crime photographer became ill. MacDonald, who was superficially wounded, mumbled of an attack by four hippies chanting "Acid is groovy. Acid and rain." But military investigators concluded that MacDonald had murdered his own family and to cover up had aped the Manson...
...took the stand, his wounded-victim posture collapsed. This time the prosecution's reconstruction of the murders, based on blood types, a footprint, and threads from the doctor's pajama top, horrified grand jurors.

Michael Leeson, who wrote scripts for the TV series Taxi, uses that show's mixture of urban gallantry and paranoia...
...object of this interest was not so much the flaming bird itself but rather one of Challenger's crew, Sally Kristen Ride. As Challenger headed off on the seventh shuttle mission, a bare 59 milliseconds late, the jubilation was as much for Ride as for the machine. By finally launching what Air Force Lieut. General James Abrahamson, chief of the shuttle program, called with old-fashioned chivalry "the first U.S. lady astronaut in space," NASA gave the shuttle program as much of a popular boost as it could have got from the most powerful new rocket...
