Only at the end did it all come together. In a masterly six-hour summation, U.S. Attorney Henry DePippo crafted a cohesive argument out of the morass of evidence. Tracing the conspiracy back to April 1992, DePippo wove together phone calls, fingerprints, chemical analysis, chunks of metal and parking stubs into a narrative that led to the on-ramp of the B-2 parking level of the World Trade Center. Throughout the tale, he clearly delineated the roles of Mohammad Salameh, Nidal Ayyad, Mahmud Abouhalima and Ahmad Ajaj in the criminal partnership...
...photogenic red ties. He has assumed the role of spokesman for Russians who protested reform with their antigovernment votes in December, and he is apparently positioning himself for a run in the 1996 presidential election. He and Yeltsin warred repeatedly last week over the new Cabinet, including one six-hour, face-to-face marathon...
...tight spaces, disconnect and connect fragile electronic equipment, and make sure no loose screws damaged the delicate telescope -- all while wearing puffy pressure suits and bulky gloves in a vacuum at zero gravity and -300 degrees F. In theory, NASA said, they could complete this orbital overhaul in five six-hour spacewalks; in practice, there would almost certainly be at least a few major flubs. If the astronauts accomplished much more than half of what they had set out to do, insisted the fretful space agency, then the mission should be counted a success...
...Hubble rescue is by far the most difficult mission since the moon landings. The crew was set to perform at least five six-hour space walks, and maybe up to seven, in order to replace or repair the telescope's myopic primary mirror, an outdated camera, two wobbly solar-energy panels and three faulty gyroscopes, among other balky components -- 11 fixes in all. Says mission scientist Edward Weiler sardonically: "This is not a trip to Grandma's house to fix the faucet...
...project will include six to eight TV movies (the first two airing on Turner's TNT this month); a six-hour documentary series on Native American history (coming next fall on TBS); and a 20-part series of reports, The Invisible People, focusing on contemporary Native American issues (on CNN in late 1994). It's a praiseworthy effort for at least two reasons. First, at a time when TV viewers are being regaled with lavishly researched documentaries on everything from the Civil War to Duke Ellington, American Indian history is still largely ignored. Second, Turner's effort seems sincerely aimed...
