...management simultaneously. James L. Larocca Lloyd Harbor, N.Y. Cuomo's philosophy that there be a ''sharing of benefits and burdens for the good of all'' is just the same recycled liberal baloney we have been force-fed for decades. There is more to governing than making good speeches. William L. Aumic Guilderland, N.Y. The caricature on the cover does not befit Cuomo and misses completely his sense of caring, his warmth and charm. Carolyne Chirichello Santa Cruz, Calif. Your cover illustration of Cuomo was a joy to behold. Al Hirschfeld has been doing those fabulous line drawings since the George...
...making process.'' The commission appointed to investigate the Challenger accident interviewed more than 160 people, held hearings that generated 2,800 pages of transcripts, then summarized it all in an orderly 256-page report that met the deadline set by Ronald Reagan. Led skillfully by former Secretary of State William Rogers, the 13-member group produced a document that Washington's Republican Senator Slade Gorton predicts will become a ''model for presidential commissions for years to come.'' It is a tribute to the openness of the commission's proceedings that few of the answers about Challenger came as a surprise...
...called on the Paris Opera Ballet School. Three years later, Rudolf Nureyev, who had taken over as the company's director, did the same, casting her out of the corps in his production of Raymonda. Now she is the darling of choreographers on the international scene: Rudi van Dantzig, William Forsythe, Lucinda Childs. Says Nureyev: ''She has extraordinary physical attributes, long legs, a long neck. She has musicality. And what is most important, she glows on stage.'' All accurate. But he adds, ''At 21, she already has nerves of steel.'' Not quite so, according to Guillem. Before a performance...
...treaty has never been signed. The war left writers as well as politicians strangely silent. Korea inspired no All Quiet on the Western Front, no From Here to Eternity, no Dispatches. Most books on the subject are military histories, bristling with regimental acronyms that only a quartermaster could love. (William B. Hopkins' forthcoming eyewitness account of the Marines at Chosin, One Bugle No Drums, published by Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, N.C., neatly avoids this trap.) Knox's book does not entirely forswear such an approach. But for the most part, the story is told in the unadorned, often eloquent...
...looking Gaddafi fidgeting in his chair and speaking in a hoarse voice. His diatribe against the U.S. and Western Europe was devoid of the fiery rhetoric that he has employed in the past to whip crowds into a frenzy. Among other things, he reportedly discussed a controversial meeting with William Wilson, the U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican who later resigned. The lackluster performance reinforced a growing belief that Gaddafi has not recovered from the shock of the April 15 bombing raid. The attack, and the pitiful defense put up by the Libyan military, exposed the emptiness of Gaddafi's threats...
