...professor of political science at Barnard College, who will study the influence of presidential debates on voters and journalists; Barrie Dunsmore, diplomatic correspondent for ABC News, who will examine the policy implications and strategic effects of covering war "live" from the battlefield; Don Kellermann, founding director of the Times Mirror Center, who will study the impact of media and public opinion on policy formation; and Jacqueline Sharkey, professor of journalism at the University of Arizona, who will analyze the impact of international trade and investment policies on First Amendment traditions and practices of U.S.-based news media...
...small room, only 4 sq m [43 sq. ft.]. These young guards were with me all the time." To gain the tiniest measure of privacy, he shamed them into letting him close the door of the toilet (though they peered through a peephole) and stared at them in the mirror over a small desk until "they think I use the mirror to watch them, so they remove it." He then began writing tiny notes to record the details of what would become 66 days in captivity. Some hidden in his shoe were found; others were secreted in the center margins...
Watched for more eagerly than the Second Coming, the divorce of Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley was heralded again last week when the Daily Mirror, one of England's highest selling newspapers, announced that Presley, incensed over a jaunt Jackson took to Europe with two young boys, had called it quits.

...Little Boy achieved a new order of destructive power. Unleashing the equivalent of 12,500 tons of TNT, it essentially flattened Hiroshima in one blow: only 6,000 of the city's 76,000 buildings were undamaged; 48,000 of them were entirely destroyed. Practically every window and mirror in the city splintered, hurling shards of glass into the bodies of anyone nearby. The explosion started more fires outside the central ring of devastation, as flammable houses collapsed onto cooking fires or sputtering electric wires. People pinned under rubble inside burning buildings cried out for help; few heard them...
