...tried to land through clouds and fog. The crash killed the two crew members and all twelve passengers. The NTSB investigation blamed navigational errors by the crew. But it cited a list of contributing factors: the cockpit was so noisy that the captain and first officer had either to shout or to use hand signals to communicate; both were relatively inexperienced; and Henson's training in its aircraft, which have differing instrument layouts, was inadequate. The crew members, who had flown together only twice before, were undergoing personal tensions that may have created stress. The captain, 27, was about...
...Angeles Philharmonic. Both are solid craftsmen whose music is informed by an eloquent melodic voice, and each is especially adept at writing for the symphony orchestra. Zwilich's First Symphony is a big, bold, brassy work, propelled by insistent, driving rhythms, while her Celebration is a rattling shout reminiscent at times of Shostakovich. Harbison's dark, looming Ulysses' Bow is the second section of a two-part Homeric ballet and displays well its composer's skill at orchestration. Although the ballet has yet to be staged, Ulysses' Bow, at least, can stand on its own as a vivid showpiece...
According to Robertson's office, he did leave the U.S.S. Breckinridge in Kobe, but was later transferred to Korea, where he served at 1st Marine Division headquarters as an assistant adjutant for six months.

But he did not claim any battle experience, and since then the words combat duty have been dropped from...
...game five, Buckner mounted just enough head-first slide to beach himself on home plate. It was hard to call that run unearned, but Mets errors had started again. Even though Red Sox Lefthander Bruce Hurst won his second sterling game, the first home crowd with anything to shout about gave its fullest voice to ridicul- ing the feeble bat and careless glove of New York's young outfielder Darryl Strawberry. He may answer for a while to raspberry...
Messner has been called tactless and egocentric by his critics. After his solo ascent of Everest, for example, he told admiring fellow South Tyroleans, "I do this for myself because I am my own fatherland, and my handkerchief is my flag." On talk-show stints, he tends to shout down other guests. Indeed, a mountaineer who has known him for years thinks fame has been hard on a man who finds peace in solitude: "Everyone wants to get in touch with him. Everybody wants to shake his hand." He is divorced from West German Journalist Uschi Demeter, and lately, says...
