...medals, we have been preparing our coverage for more than a year: beats were assigned, sources developed and operational plans drawn." Gate heard the unhappy announcement on cable TV last Tuesday morning while he was at home downing a glass of Instant Breakfast. As he made ready to redeploy the bureau's staff, TIME correspondents and stringers around the world were also responding, including those in Washington, Colorado Springs, Geneva and Eastern Europe. At the heart of the controversy, Moscow Bureau Chief Erik Amfitheatrof was surprised to find the issue being down-played to the point of invisibility. Notes...
...ominous, reassuring, inspirational, showy, frustrating. The death of the leader of the Soviet Union was announced, with all its implications for the future of that socialist superpower and its troubled relationship with the U.S. In the face of more violence and political uncertainty in Lebanon, President Reagan acted to redeploy the Marines. For the first time, men floated freely in the heavens, breaking away from the shuttle Challenger to become human satellites.

Two of America's partners in the Multi-National Force also were increasingly restive about being pinned down in Beirut. France announced that in late January it would transfer one-fourth of its 1,750-man garrison to rejoin the United Nations Force...
...Long report, following a similarly critical assessment of the Lebanon involvement by a House subcommittee, undoubtedly increases the pressure on the Administration to redeploy or withdraw the Marines. If it does not do so, the Democratic presidential candidates are likely to use the report to assail Reagan's policy on Lebanon. If there are further casualties, the report will serve as a detailed reminder that the military has serious qualms about the role it has been asked to play in Lebanon...
