...Working together is more important than sexual- harassment training," says Senior Chief Radioman Rusanne Anthony. The Navy's officers also need to set a better example. "We haven't had leaders who modeled the proper behavior," says Kay Krohne, a retired Navy commander. "We have officers who pay lip service, then pinch their secretary's butt...
Ross Perot, who often talks before he thinks, is currently in his denial mode.

...Then in 1989 Intermission Productions, at the request of Welles-Smith, launched a search for the film's original elements. They turned up in a New Jersey warehouse, and a restoration team set about polishing the visuals, re- creating the score and synchronizing, to the extent possible, words with lip movements. Restoration supervisor Phillip Schopper sees the new Othello as a revival supplemented by modern technology: "We did things that Welles wished he'd been able to do, but couldn...
