kNUARN T. I» XA MAN OF THE YEAR? Traditionally TIME’S Man of the Year covers have been real individuals or a symbolic representation of a group of people. Several human can- didates might have represented 1982, but none symbolized the past year richly or more significant than a ma- chine: the computer. “Goodbye, Farewell And Amen” M A S H The cast and crew of M A S H is shutting down the Korean War on tele- vision after 11 years. This means goodbye to one of the most popular television series of 11 time. M A S H has been in the Top 10 for nine out of its 11 years on CBS.

Top left: who would suspect that a homely little, mechani- cal creature would win the hearts of movie goers around the world? Certainly not Steven Spielberg the creator — director of E.T. — the Extra Terrestrial. This film was not only the most successful film in history but also helped the film industry have the most successful season in nearly 40 years. Center: A small fire at the Alton Container Company on East Broadway erupted on Friday April 2, 1982. Due to the high flamability of the paper bales that were on fire and the very strong winds that whipped the area that day, a major conflagration began. The Alton Fire Department fought a fierce battle for three days to gain control of the fire. After it was over the Alton Container fire had been Alton’s largest and costliest fire. Bottom: A barge loaded with highly explosive benzine broke loose from a tow boat and lodged against the Alton Dam. The strong channel current pulled the barge under the water creating an extremely dangerous situation. Work- ers were able to prevent a major diaster by draining off the benzine before safely removing the barge. 1982 Grammy Awards TOTO 6 Grammys: Record of the year. Album of the year.
