Zionist leaders are mistaken, however, if they believe that they have gotten away with this grand endeavor. The superpowers, despite the "moral" and other support lent by the U.S., have their own interests in the Middle East. The Arab-Israeli conflict serves as a great chessboard, a weapons testing ground, and the focus of the struggle for intelligence and precious resources. It is not the interest of either to allow the other's proxies to win the incessant wars, so there is no real hope for a military solution. Israel's great tactical superiority is neutralized, while the population clock...
...Avilden's pragmatism could never be mistaken for the opportunism that seeps from his erstwhile protege, Stallone, now himself a director. Avildsen is a professional movie maker--neither a pop star soaking up adulation nor an artist basking in alienation. He likes to make movies, and he likes to do it cheaply. Why do Rocky and Adrian come to the skating rink when it's closed? We wonder. Simple, Avildsen says: it cost less to film without all the extras needed to make the place look open. That's pretty cool, you think, not pretty cheap...
...headed south toward the Mozambique capital of Maputo. Violent thunderstorms were hitting the area, and visibility was poor. Near the South African town of Komatipoort, the Soviet pilot announced he had Maputo airport in sight and descended.

Moments later, about 600 ft. inside South Africa, the plane hit treetops and cartwheeled down a rainswept hillside. Among those killed, in addition to Machel, were Transport Minister Alcantara Santos, Deputy Foreign Minister Jose Lobo and the Ambassadors to Mozambique from Zambia and Zaire...
...should be hanging close to the set, seeing to the details of directing his first feature film, not striking out on some weird nocturnal expedition in search of hymenopterous marauders. He may not resemble the manic murderer in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, but he will never be mistaken for Mark Trail either. Is this a man to follow into the night...
...self-appointed, batted .189 and struck out 57 times. Split-Fingered Fast-Baller Mike Scott dismayed the Mets twice; all they could do with Scott was collect allegedly scuffed baseballs and cry to the press. Dykstra's ninth-inning homer saved a third loss, and Umpire Fred Brocklander's mistaken out call at first base forestalled a fourth. Houston's essential run was lost. Slumping Catcher Gary Carter eventually won that one in the twelfth inning with a flash single off flamboyant Reliever Charlie Kerfeld, who had given Carter the back of his glove and hand fielding an earlier zinger...
