TIME correspondents covered some of the same ground in reporting on Lean's 42-year career. New Delhi Bureau Chief Dean Brelis went to Calcutta to interview Victor Banerjee before the actor flew to Los Angeles to join Lean at Passage's premiere.

Tennessee's Albert Gore Jr., 36, whose father served three influential terms in the Senate, was an easy victor over a weak Republican candidate. West Virginia's John D. ("Jay") Rockefeller IV, 47, also faced a wobbly Republican opponent and had also been considered a shoo-in; yet TV network-news polls reported early Tuesday evening that Republican Businessman John R.
