"To our great regret, we have found nothing which could be interpreted as a puncture," said Vladimir Solovyov, chief of Mission Control in Moscow.

I.P.A. president Robert Miller, echoing the Teamsters, declares that his pilots are no longer prepared to accept salaries below the industry average.

...Game. Sigismondi says movie scripts have been "flooding in," but that she hasn't chosen a project. Williams is developing a live-action Fat Albert feature for Bill Cosby. Hunter has signed to direct a film for HBO, and Glazer is working on the movie Gangsta Number One. But none of them have yet decided to leave videos for movies permanently.
