...year is 1972, and Colonel "Tusker" Smalley (Indian Army, ret.) is ensconced at an out-of-the-way Indian hill station called Pankot. Unlike most of the British, Tusker never pulled up stakes. He and his wife Lucy, "the last survivors of Pankot's permanent retired British residents," coexist amiably with most of the natives-but not so well with each other. Tusker's irascibility has been honed by questionable health and the approach of his 71st birthday. Lucy, whose chief diversion in recent years has been local showings of Hollywood movies, has begun to feel that life...
...portrayed a woman as brave and self-reliant. Then, of course, there was The Bionic Woman, starring Lindsay Wagner. Silverman ordered her resurrected after she was erroneously bumped off at the end of a special appearance on The Six Million Dollar Man; a heart and a rather engaging spirit coexist with the electronic circuitry under Lindsay's lovely skin. The fact that The Bionic Woman consistently rates in the top ten, country in which Colonel Steve Austin, the six-million-dollar man, is rarely found, was surely seen as a sign that there was room for more strong women...
Angels fans are curious about whether the three beauties can coexist on one sound stage. The answer is obvious: they get along well because their futures depend on it.

When a script called for a dog, the atmosphere on the set became so tense that the part was finally written...
South Africa's future is no less uncertain. By the end of 1978, when black governments are supposed to be in place in both Zimbabwe and Namibia, South Africa will be surrounded by black-ruled independent states, whose politics and willingness to coexist with white power in Pretoria are still to be determined. How much can Vorster salvage of the South African way of life? The right to remain in Africa, certainly: all parties acknowledge that, with their 300-year tradition in southern Africa, the Afrikaners and their latter-day countrymen, the English-speaking South Africans, have as much right...
...hyacinths a day. But placed in weed-clogged waters, the manatee ate its way through a mere 40 lbs. of the damnable plant daily. The hulking, hairless creatures, who may have helped inspire the mermaid legend (their mammaries faintly resemble those of a woman), also find it difficult to coexist with power boats. University of Miami biologists report that about 20% of all manatees found dead each year are crushed by barges or chewed up by boat propellers...
