...from his seat just behind Chernenko's. A balding figure in a gray three-piece suit and wire-rim glasses, he fidgeted restlessly and riffled through the pages of his speech, which was bound in a red folder.

Two rescue workers diverted themselves from the grim task of searching through the debris for bodies by staging an impromptu open-air musicale. One weary young man sat down at an undamaged piano and picked out a tune; a second snatched...
