...says Pons, "told us we had much more energy than could be attributed to a chemical reaction." After the accident, Pons called Fleischmann, who had returned to England. Fleischmann responded to the momentous news with an admonition: "We'd better not talk on the phone." Pons says they ultimately spent about $100,000 of their own money to pursue what they were convinced was fusion...
Last fall World editor Jim Kelly spent two weeks in the Soviet Union as a guest of New Times. We recently reciprocated by inviting Ignatenko to visit TIME's U.S. operation. As it turned out, we asked him nearly as many questions about his job as he asked about how an American newsmagazine is put together. We learned, for example, that Ignatenko has a telephone in his office that connects him directly to top officials -- and vice versa. "Gorbachev personally hasn't phoned me," Ignatenko says, "but he knows all the editors on a first-name basis and meets with...
Ignatenko spent four days in Miami with bureau chief James Carney, who speaks Russian.

The sport supports no fewer than four major magazines: Golf Magazine, Golf Digest, Golf World and the phenomenally successful Golf Illustrated...
...industry has worked harder at wooing golfers than the hotel and resort business. As astronaut Alan Shepard showed in 1971 with his six-iron shot on the moon, golfers will go to practically any extreme to try out a new course. According to the National Golf Foundation, players spent nearly $8 billion of their golf outlays last year on travel. Marriott Hotels and Resorts, based in Bethesda, Md., currently operates 18 golf getaways in the U.S., plans to open another in Hauppauge, N.Y., this fall and has three more on the drawing board. "If we don't have golf...
