...what some thought was a thresher shark. Last Wednesday a 12-ft. tiger shark chased spear fishers in Hawaii. News crews stood on the sand to interview experts, who declared over and over that sharks killed only 10 people worldwide in 2000. But don't swim at dusk or dawn; avoid murky water and steep drop-offs; shed all jewelry. And do swimsuits in yellow--"yum-yum yellow"--attract sharks? No one was sure. Sharks don't give interviews...
...BULL SHARK When Dawn Schauman was attacked by an 8-to-10-ft. bull shark in October 1993, she said, "it felt like a truck had slammed into me, then I felt a compacting squeeze and an acute burning in my left hand and my left leg." The shark spun her around, leaving her disoriented as she hemorrhaged blood into the water. The shark left, and willpower alone got Schauman--6 1/2 months pregnant--back to shore. Her baby was later born prematurely but safely. For months Schauman woke at 3 a.m. replaying the attack in her head...

Police with cadaver dogs also began searching nearby abandoned houses...
WHAT IT'S ABOUT The dicey, dusk-to-dawn celebration of their sixth wedding anniversary by Joe and Sally Therrian (Cumming and Leigh). Nothing very dramatic happens: some drugs are done; some half-nude swimming is indulged in; some contingent truths are told about the Therrians' relationship, which is troubled by the rise of his career, the decline of hers and the question of having a child. Their guests are largely played by the auteurs' acting pals; all the characters have something to do with show biz. In other words, egos can go from bluster to fragility, from savagery...
...aircraft took off before dawn they had their lights on, and it was like the sky was filled with fireflies. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. In formation, the propeller engine of the plane ahead of you makes a smoke stream. To avoid it, I was flying a little bit higher than the aircraft in front of me. I was near the end of the second group. The leader was at 3,000 m. Gradually, the other planes were each a little bit higher. I was at 3,500 m. I felt like a shepherd watching...
