...ship sailed out of the harbor, a Chilean gunboat darting in front of it like a little duckling. Onshore, the group piled back into the embassy van, and soon the remaining bottle of Champagne was uncorked. As Bieniawski slapped backs and offered high fives, his deputy remained quiet. Chuck Messick, a Navy man, has worked on the HEU-retrieval program since its inception in 1996. The HEU, he reminded anyone who would listen, still had to find safe passage through the Panama Canal and be safely unloaded in the U.S. "The mission," he said, "is not over yet. The mission...
DIED. DALE MESSICK, 98, one of the first female comic-strip artists, who in 1940 introduced readers to Brenda Starr, Reporter, an intrepid, curvy and impeccably clad journalist who talked her way into exotic assignments, dated hunks and abided no nonsense from her editor; in Sonoma County, Calif.

As a bonus, Robbins has dug up Messick's unpublished, earlier strip proposals. Robbins super-sleuthing has even uncovered Jackie Ormes, apparently the first African-American woman with a syndicated comicstrip, "Torchy Brown," that ran sporadically from the 1930s to the 1950s in black-owned newspapers...
...when Fox bought the show, that format must have sounded a little too, well, different. According to the suit, Fox promptly hired Scott Messick, a producer of the original "Survivor," as executive producer of "Boot Camp." (Yes, the suit does accuse Messick of illegally divulging trade secrets, and names him as a defendant.) And the voting off by drill sergeants - the one thing besides the military setting that might have made the show different and refreshing, not to mention more realistic - was one of the first things to go. Contestants would vote each other off. That was what worked...
