...Bull took on the form of a surprisingly conventional musical comedy of mistaken identity: pleasant if not particularly memorable music, a cheerfully tongue-in-cheek plot and caricatures obviously intended to be as farcical as possible. Set in the fictitious Pueblo Cito, a "backward little town" on the coast of Spain, the story revolves around three principal characters: El Bean (Tim Arnold '00), a famous matador; Hector (Elie Mystal '00), a sleazy politician; and Ana Sanchez (Tonia d'Amelio '00), a village girl whose fiance was trampled to death by bulls...

Set on the coast of the Ionian Sea, while Greece was under Turkish occupation, it is the story of a young pirate, Conrad (Robert Wallace), who falls in love with a Greek slave, Medora (Natasha Akhmarova), in a Turkish bazaar.

...Northwest, Delta, and USAirways flights heading westward over New York City toward Philadelphia on March 21 all reported what they though were possible missile sightings. What the pilots may have seen were two D-5 Trident missiles fired at that time by the submarine USS West Virginia off the coast of Florida, says the FAA. Because the night was very clear, the missiles, fired eastward over the Atlantic toward the Azores, could have been visible from afar, says the Navy. But Navy Captain Michael Doubleday doubted that the test could explain the pilots' sightings. "It stretches the imagination that anybody...
