Jimmy could be very irritating. He borrowed things and didn't return them. He made appointments that he never kept. He could be spiteful, and he made use of anybody who could be useful. But he was also warm and intense and funny, and anyone who gained his friendship valued it highly. That included an Englishwoman who once lent him her typewriter because he had pawned his own. Jimmy did not return it because, he said, he was in the midst of Go Tell It on the Mountain and "had to finish the chapter...
...every rule advantage to dismast the pesky Fay. As the defender, San Diego may choose the contest's locale but will not announce it until 90 days beforehand. Tentative plans are to race the New Zealanders late next summer, then (assuming a victory and no other wild-card ^ challenges) return to using 12-meters for a San Diego regatta in 1991. Meanwhile, the San Diegans are exploring some distinctly un-America's Cuppish designs, notably a "killer mosquito" hydrofoil.

Last week several well-known henchmen had come out of hiding, and were walking the streets again in broad daylight. "The return of the Tonton Macoutes is total," said a Haitian journalist...
...explosion of the shuttle Challenger nearly two years ago threw the U.S. space program into such staggering disarray that officials have shied away from predicting when the program would get back on track, much less undertake new ventures. Though the shuttle's return to service is still at least six months away, NASA officials last week managed to look beyond that crippling disaster and announced plans for two ambitious programs for the next decade. In 1989, the space agency declared, it will finally launch its long-delayed unmanned Galileo project to Jupiter, a 2.3 billion-mile mission that is expected...
