...WOULD HAVE ended the story of Grace Kelly 26 years ago, with "happily ever after." That was when she turned into a princess. Close the book, shut your eyes, dream sweet, romantic dreams, and give no thought to what "ever after" might mean, except some sort of indescribable, endless happiness. Grimm's would never have ended the story the way it really ended last week, in a tangled, twisted pile of metal at the bottom of a ravine. Fairy tales don't end in car wrecks...
...uncharted icecap, by snowmobile in a record 66 days. After reaching the South Pole, the team ascended and descended the 9,750-ft. Scott Glacier. Said Burton: "Nobody who wasn't there, who has not felt the deadly lurch of snow giving way, hasn't seen the endless white or blue telltale shadows of a major crevasse field and been forced to continue going through more for hour after hour, can imagine the sweaty apprehension we experienced for those three days...
...hundreds of cases, men left for unknown destinations, leaving wives and families behind. P.L.O. Chairman Yasser Arafat called the long siege of Beirut and the evacuation "a victory for the resistance." The P.L.O. did manage to sustain the sense of an honorable retreat, with flags flying and the endless cannonades and thunderous volleys of rockets. The departing guerrillas and the friends who saw them off fired their automatic rifles and machine guns so furiously that a U.S. Marine said he felt as though he were on a firing range. Stray bullets killed 17 and wounded at least 42 more...
...early Council Scene, I wonder whether Hamlet would really remain sitting on the floor when speaking with the Queen. But later there no doubt that Hamlet is feigning madness--a topic of endless controversy over the generations. Gilbert (without collaboration from Sullivan) wrote a delightful burlesque of Hamlet in which Ophelia runs through a host of theories and concludes. "Hamlet is idiotically sane With lucid intervals of lunacy...
...spring of Barbarosa's plot is an endless battle between the outlaw and a Mexican family he married into decades ago. There is a blood feud in The Challenge, too, as bloody as it is feudal. Two swords have been in an old Japanese family for six centuries. Now, in modern Kyoto, two brothers fight to the death for possession of those swords. Life, it would seem, is cheap in the mystic East, at least when an Occidental director like John Frankenheimer invades Japan to make a martial-arts movie. Glenn and Mifune invade the industrial fortress of Mifune...
