...clear, cold night last week, the twin-towered red brick façade of Oslo's city hall flickered in the glow of torches borne by thousands of demonstrators. Inside, an audience of more than 1,000 jammed the auditorium. To a standing ovation, Betty Williams, 33, and Mairead Corrigan, 32, co-founders of the Ulster Peace Movement (TIME, Sept. 6) arrived to accept the Norwegian People's Peace Prize...
...years have so many diplomatic persona suddenly been declared non grata. In Oslo, members of North Korea's diplomatic mission-three bureaucrats and a chauffeur-were given six days to pack up and get out. Foreign Ministry officials frostily informed North Korea's Ambassador to Stockholm, Kil Jae Gyong, who is also accredited to Oslo, that he was no longer welcome in Norway. Similar scenes took place in Helsinki and Copenhagen, and as of last week, twelve North Korean embassy staffers had been unceremoniously ordered home to Pyongyang...

Watkins also tries to tunnel into Munch's creative spirit, to watch him work and trace his themes of violent mortality and sexual betrayal to their psychic roots...
Norwegian navy headquarters in Oslo confirmed last week that Skipper Hamnen's big catch was a Soviet sub: a 360-ft. nuclear-powered hunter-killer of the "November" class. Trouble-ridden from the time they were first commissioned in 1958, November-class subs have rarely shown their periscopes outside Soviet waters since one sank off the English coast in 1970. Besides, the submarines-famed for their noisiness-are absurdly easy to detect. When they dive, observes one Norwegian navy officer, they sound "like the flushing of an antique toilet." The sub involved in the Sjevik incident was not even...
