...movie chronicles, minor attacks suddenly made headlines--a surfer recalls getting bit on the leg and a news van beating the ambulance to the scene. TV choppers swarmed the Gulf of Mexico, and Larry King asked, "Are sharks rebelling?" (Full disclosure: TIME ran a "Summer of the Shark" cover.) But by season's end, fewer people had been attacked by sharks in the U.S. than during the summer before...
...40th anniversary of the moon landing was the perfect opportunity to reinject space exploration into the national consciousness. So I was disappointed that you ran a human-interest piece.

"What we found was that the treatment of obesity was very frustrating," he says. Only about 5% of participants could keep the weight off, and although those 5% were...
...Dartmouth frolic, his co writer was F. Scott Fitzgerald, cadging for jobs in California after the drying up of his first act as the chronicler of the Jazz Age. Fitzgerald would die in 1940, leaving his Hollywood novel The Last Tycoon famously unfinished. Schulberg took the inside-movies notion, ran with it and produced What Makes Sammy...
