...latest, activists sailed into the waters off Mururoa atoll early last month in a futile effort to get the French to halt resumption of nuclear-test blasts in the Pacific. But the protesters blundered into a trap, allowing the French navy to seize two vessels--the flagship Rainbow Warrior II and, more significantly, the group's largest support ship, MV Greenpeace. French authorities impounded a third protest vessel a few days before setting off a second atomic blast last week. In the wake of the seizures and the resulting public squabbling among Greenpeace leaders, top officials forced the resignation...
...nuclear explosions. A second, lower seawall also surrounds the atoll. The single entrance to the lagoon within is only a few yards wider than the beam of a medium-size oceangoing ship. Protest vessels have been aiming at this breach since 1972, and last month the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior II, a successor to the Rainbow Warrior blown up by the French at Auckland, New Zealand, in 1985, was rammed by a French warship as it tried to enter the lagoon...

His helmet will be fitted with microphones and earphones for communications, night-vision goggles and thermal-imaging sensors to see in the dark, along with a heads-up display in front of his eyes to show him where he is on the ground and give him constant intelligence...
...legendary ingester of psychedelic substances, who paints his old friend in heroic strokes. "Not Elvis, not John Lennon. The Beatles were great, but they were a studio band. And Elvis was great, but he was a good ole boy, not a revolutionary. Jerry has been a revolutionary, a warrior, as long as I've known him. He battled for the American soul, out there on the edge of a dangerous frontier--battling the forces of the Grinch, the forces of darkness. It was a typical old flower-child battle for the forces of good and mercy and gentleness and mischief...
