...understudies Kate Nelligan in Plenty. "You are either extremely bored or extremely terrified, or completely elated or completely crushed." Danson has been all four of those, and two days after the play opened last October, she had to step in when Nelligan had the flu. "For three performances I rode the crest of a tremendous wave," says Danson, "but then I was back in the Green Room doing crossword puzzles. It takes a lot of adjustment to handle those huge swings of the pendulum...
...torch. Unlike steel, the aluminum vaporizes and burns, adding immense heat to the explosion inside and producing a fireball. That is not a theoretical danger. The M113 also is made of aluminum, and M113s carrying Israeli troops went up in flames in Lebanon. During the invasion, Israeli troops rode on the exposed areas of the M113-not inside it. Since the Bradley is designed for actual combat, it is far more likely to be hit, and since its armor is twice as thick, there is twice as much aluminum to vaporize...
...Helms rode in the car behind Hitler in a motorcade through Nuremberg, where the frenzy spilled down every street. At the Burg, a medieval castle, Hitler came out on the battlement for one of his rare interviews. Helms was seized by conflicting emotions.

With a crucial role in the federal government's Chrysler bailout as the single feather in his cap, Blanchard has promised massive public works projects, '60-style...
RONALD REAGAN has become a liability to the Tennessee Republicans who rode his coattails two years ago. Cissy Baker, the 26-year-old daughter of Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker. is seeking an east Tennessee congressional scat: she spent the first month of her campaign dodging offers of help from Washington, which of late had given Tennessee little more than its 11 percent unemployment rate. She finally appeared with the President in a national GOP commercial last week, but even then, she demurred from supporting the Administration's economic program. The TV ad was merely evidence of her ability...
