...wrote the script with her sister Delia) also wants everyone to make nice. Whatever air the picture has goes whooshing out of it when the stars do a romantic dance. It's reminiscent of Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds in a similar setting in Singin' in the Rain. Except these stars can't dance--not romantically, soaringly, anyway--and although one applauds Ephron's romantic impulse, it is one about which she might have thought twice...
...S.S.A.'s straight-talking leader is Colonel Yawd Serk, 47, who wears a dark suit and city shoes, resembling a bureaucrat rather than a rebel commander. He gives TIME a tour of nearby Gon Kha hill, scene of the recent fighting. When the rain stops, it can be reached by a narrow dirt road, which Yawd Serk negotiates in a blue Isuzu pickup truck, with his revolver tucked into the dashboard.

Not only was the craft loaded with black-market arms--70 Soviet-made AK-47 rifles, 100,000 rounds of ammunition, rocket grenades, boots and other supplies--but two of the three dead crew members found inside were Americans. The pair were later identified as William J. Cooper, 61, of Reno, and Wallace Elaine Sawyer Jr., 41, of Magnolia, Ark. A day later searchers cornered Hasenfus hiding in an abandoned shack. Though he was armed with a pistol and a knife, he offered...
