...extraordinary lecture series at New York University's School of Continuing Education called "The Creative Edge." Organized by Richard Brown, an assistant professor of humanities, the program uses both film and live interviews to explore the creative process of six great artists: writers Arthur Miller and Tom Wolfe, dancer Rudolf Nureyev, composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim, actress Helen Hayes and photographer Yousuf Karsh. "We saw this as a special opportunity," says Anne Janas, our manager of public affairs. "These are all people at the top of their fields and people TIME has written about throughout their careers...
...nine-month-old Palestinian uprising in the Israeli-occupied territories. Though that demand is patently unacceptable -- should terrorists conclude they could change American foreign policy by taking hostages, the kidnapings would only increase -- it differed considerably in tone from earlier threats to kill the captives. Another terrorist group freed Rudolf Cordes, a West German businessman, two weeks ago without exacting "any political price" -- or so the Bonn government insisted. Cordes' kidnapers had originally demanded freedom for the Hammadi brothers, two terrorists being held in Germany. But Abbas Hammadi is serving a 13-year prison term in Dusseldorf, and Mohammed...
...against the scourge of terrorism. In a high-security courtroom in Frankfurt, Mohammed Ali Hammadi faced the most damaging testimony yet in his two-month-old trial for the 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847 and the murder of a U.S. Navy diver.

Thus Bonn, which had unwittingly put its citizens at risk because a terrorist happened to fall into its hands, could breathe easier, and with a measure of satisfaction...
Speculation arose that Hammadi's confession was part of a maneuver by Iran that could free West German Rudolf Cordes, one of 16 foreign hostages believed to be held in Beirut by groups like the pro-Iranian Hizballah. Most experts doubted, however, that West Germany would agree to a Hammadi-Cordes swap. At the same time, a West German intelligence source contends that Iran ordered Hammadi's confession to gain Bonn's support during upcoming peace negotiations with Iraq. For more intrigue, tune in when the trial resumes next month...
...early 19th century, similarly sifting the New Testament for evidence of the flesh-and-blood Nazarene beneath the "myths." Often their Jesus turned out to be an inspirational preacher who bore a suspicious resemblance to a 19th century German. But by the 20th century, the great Protestant critic Rudolf Bultmann of Marburg University had concluded that such quests were fruitless. The Bible is so much an article of faith, so laden with unprovable events and legends, he contended in 1926, that "we can now know almost nothing concerning the life and personality of Jesus...
