Cameras were forbidden "within telephoto range" of the township, and correspondents were barred from taking notes within the same radius. To enforce the restrictions, police were dispatched to round up uncooperative members of the press. In all, more than 20 journalists were arrested and then released. Many had cameras and film confiscated. Others, including a TIME correspondent and photographer, were threatened with further investigation and prosecution...
Among the hundreds of journalists present at last week's ill-fated launch of the space shuttle Challenger were two veteran TIME space watchers: Correspondent Jerry Hannifin and Photographer Ralph Morse. Between them they have logged nearly six decades covering the U.S. space program. As Morse peered through his telephoto lens at the swiftly rising Challenger, he remarked that the lift-off appeared sluggish. "Don't kid yourself," said Morse. "They're in trouble up there...
...videotape opens with a long shot of the spacecraft climbing steadily into the sky, cuts to a telephoto closeup just seconds before the sudden fireball, then switches to a wider view of the billowing smoke and steam.

For all the resources and manpower deployed by the news media after Tuesday's shuttle explosion, everything seemed mere annotation to that single two-minute clip...
...part this is an optical effect--that of the telephoto lens, which replaces perspective recession with the layering of planes.

In paintings like Curved Intersection, 1979, streets rear up like the skycrapers that line them; pavements snake at terrific speed down the canvas; wires and yellow traffic lines cut and chop; everything seems to be on the point of falling, flaking or sliding into the Pacific, and the city becomes a meticulously ordered metaphor of anxiety. No one has ever painted this allegedly laid-back town...
...White House may be like a fishbowl, but at least it provides some privacy in the family quarters on the second floor. Not so Ronald Reagan's beloved Rancho del Cielo near Santa Barbara. When the Reagans are in residence, TV networks station cameras with giant telephoto lenses on a hilly knob in the Santa Ynez Mountains, three miles from the presidential retreat. Even from that distant vantage point, the equipment is almost powerful enough to show how many rashers of bacon are on the Reagans' breakfast plates. This summer ABC was especially eager to capture a recuperating Reagan...
