Present as Tarkovsky made his emotional announcement were three other famous exiled artists from the Soviet Union: Cellist-Conductor Mstislav Rostropovich, Stage Director Yuri Lyubimov and Writer Vladimir Maximov.

Among the agency's recent exclusives: the first bulletin of the death of Soviet Leader Yuri Andropov, and a report, on which Reuters had a 45-minute lead over all competitors, of the bombing attacks that killed almost 300 U.S. and French troops in Beirut last October.
