TIME has confirmed that Mantarov gave French officials an account charging that the KGB ordered the papal assassination. TIME has also learned that Mantarov did not have diplomatic status at the Bulgarian embassy; he was, in fact, a technician attached to the commercial section. And at least one important detail in the Times story may be wrong: Bulgarian émigrés living in Paris insist that Mantarov defected on April 11, 1981, not the following July. If the earlier date is correct, Mantarov would have defected before the assassination attempt. The timing is crucial, since Mantarov then could have...
Clark's experience will undoubtedly help doctors build a better heart. "We have learned more in a few months with Clark than in the past nine years with animals," says Larry Hastings, a U.M.C. heart-pump technician. Jarvik has already designed a portable drive system the size of a camera bag that can run the Utah heart for twelve hours. It may be ready by 1985. Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic, as well as Jarvik, are now working on hearts with implantable motors. In ten years, the only external apparatus needed by an artificial-heart patient...

...bombing of Pearl Harbor was reproduced at a Navy base in Port Hueneme, Calif, and the Navy allowed only four days for filming. Rented Navy destroyers were wired with simulated explosives, set to go off in a chain reaction. By mistake a jittery technician fired them before the cameras were ready to role. It took 35 people to rig them up again. A similar delay occurred during filming at Aaron Jastrow's Tuscan villa, which had been chosen because of its faded golden hues, the result of years of weathering. The owner of the villa was so proud...
...traditional question, and Brooks, 40, did indeed have some last words. He turned to his friend Vanessa Sapp, 27, and said he loved her, prayed aloud to Allah, turned again to Sapp and told her, "Be strong." At that, Warden Pursley gave the cue ("We are ready") to a technician hidden in the next room, and a fast-acting barbiturate came flowing through one of the IV tubes. Brooks yawned, shut his eyes and wheezed. Within minutes, Brooks, who had been a heroin user, was dead from a drug overdose meted out by the Texas department of corrections...
