According to the Soviet news agency Tass, the plane entered Soviet airspace northeast of Murmansk and was intercepted by Soviet fighters from the area's anti-aircraft defense system. For two hours, said Tass, the airliner ignored their orders to land. Premier Aleksei Kosygin was quoted as saying that the Korean jet took "evasive action" instead, in a vain attempt to get away.

Monet moved to Giverny at the mid-point of his life, in 1883; seven years later he was able to buy the house and start acquiring parcels of land along the junction of the Ru and the Epte, two tributaries of the nearby Seine. By 1926, when Monet-old, nearly blind, and as close to being a national hero as any French artist has ever been in his own lifetime-eventually died, the garden had become one of the most complete environmental expressions of a man's taste ever to be constructed. Monet created his own motif in order...
