...which Ballard tried to relax by listening to the recorded music of Edvard Grieg. On the first dive, the submersible, carrying J.J. down with it, approached the Titanic's 60-ft.-high starboard midsection. "That was the first thing we came in on," recalls Ballard. "We were putting our nose right up against this massive wall." Later, viewing the mangled remnants of the severed stern through Alvin's Plexiglas porthole, he was shaken. "You really felt it when you were there, the sheer carnage," he says. "It looked violent and destructive. The bow is majestic. It still has some nobility...
...Peter Phillips, 8, did a game job of managing both his troops and the bride's train, but the show stealer was Prince William, 4. During the 45-minute ceremony, he played on the cord of his hat like a fakir's apprentice, wrapping the string around his nose and chewing it like a licorice stick. Undaunted by baleful stares from his mother and grandmother, he pulled out his miniature ceremonial dagger and began poking holes in the dress of Diana's niece Laura Fellowes, 6.

Given such a plot, Heartburn would just be another one of a myriad of movies on failed marriage without such stellar actors. But Streep, with minimal help from Nicholson, makes it much more.

But the canard is tilted more steeply than the main wing, so it loses lift first. When that happens, the nose drops, and the resulting minidive immediately speeds the plane up, thus providing extra lift. For increased strength, both canard and main wing are attached to the fuselage and outriggers...
...lovely the going will be in the new plane for the 70 passengers and 23 crew. The President and his wife will be tucked up in a spacious bedroom in the nose, complete with vanity, closets, lavatory and shower-tub. There will be a commodious presidential office, conference room, staff lounge, working stations with computers, guest area and a ward for the media, with telex terminals, in the tail. A tiny hospital will be wedged in and maybe even a meeting room for the First Lady. Upstairs will be communications gear and crew quarters...
