The storm ripped off the upper tail fin of the 785-ft. craft, which plunged slowly toward the waters of the Pacific "like a big old hen settling down on a nest," in the words of one officer.

...band's history may be pedestrian: Buck and Stipe met in the Athens record store where Buck worked; Berry and Mills, high school friends from Macon, Ga., fell in with the other two when they started school in Athens.
