Wilson ordered about 100 members of his advance party to rush ahead in helicopters, securing both Fitzroy and the nearby settlement of Bluff Cove. The small British contingents held the position for about two days, while other units of the Fifth boarded the Sir Galahad and the Sir Tristram at Port San Carlos to join them. When the ships reached Fitzroy, they began unloading men and equipment. In effect, the British had a second beachhead on East Falkland...
Next day, on a sound stage got up to resemble a pirate cove on the coast of a Cornwall that never was, Ronstadt is dead on her feet. She leans her head on Smith's shoulder between takes. All the pirates are on hand, and so are the major general's daughters. George Rose, the major general, a veteran Shakespearean actor trained at the Old Vic and Royal Shakespeare Theater, is never out of character and never needs a retake. Kevin Kline, the pirate king, has a fencing shirt with a decolletage that makes matrons of good reputation...
These modern-day pirates can be as industrious as those who roamed the Spanish Main. Some are calling phone numbers, where computers will tell them how to copy programs. One on New York's Long Island calls itself Pirate's Cove, while another in Boston is Pirate's Newbor.

Locksmith cracks the coding schemes for most Apple Computer programs and permits them to be copied. Hardcore Computing, a small magazine in Tacoma, Wash., warns pirates about...

On Saturday afternoon they motored the 100 yds. to the island in a 10-ft. dinghy. They had drinks and dinner at an island restaurant, and six hours later-after four bottles of wine and two of champagne...
...that is moving very fast. In such a situation, Mooney's narrative suggests, everything that happens matters to everyone. But who can absorb, much less report, everything? The author sometimes reaches for cosmic consciousness and produces more comedy than insights: "On one of the fishing boats in the cove, a young down-islander discovered he had the wrong-size replacement batteries for his transistor and flung them angrily into the water; they sank forty feet and nearly hit a horseshoe crab." The narrative eye that watches this descent is necessarily distracted from all the other goings...
