...airfields two weeks ago. Responding in force, the Indian air force managed to wipe out the Pakistani air force in the East within two days, giving India control of the skies. In the Bay of Bengal and the Ganges delta region as well, the Indian navy was in unchallenged command. Its blockade of Chittagong and Chalna harbors cut off all reinforcements, supplies and chances of evacuation for the Pakistani forces, who found themselves far outnumbered (80,000 v. India's 200,000) and trapped in an enclave more than 1,000 miles from their home bases in the West...

Both projects threaten...
...Wilderness. This time he appears as a trapper named Zachary Bass, who roams the Pacific Northwest during the early 18th century. The film has barely begun before Harris is attacked by a grizzly. Badly mauled, Harris is left for dead by the other members of his expedition, under the command of salty old Captain Henry (John Huston). He vows revenge. After virtually resurrecting himself, he hunts up some food, whittles a crutch, constructs a spear and strikes out overland in search of retribution...
