...rises as a cold, clear mountain torrent in Colorado. It dwindles and almost dies while crossing the Kansas plains. Fed by tributaries, it meanders in great twists and turns through Oklahoma and Arkansas. It is one of America's muddiest rivers. Because of its sewage, silt and salt, the water is not fit for swimming, drinking or irrigation. In fact, the 1,450-mile Arkansas River is good only for the huge channel catfish, which have literally pulled fishermen into its muck...
...rebels intended to kill Castro and other members of the Communist hierarchy, then follow up with sabotage and uprisings that would engulf Cuba in turmoil. Behind the plot was a reorganized Cuban underground, including a new group consisting largely of Cuban military men fed up with Castro.

Girls on the Back. Hill did not even have an auto driver's license until ten years ago. He was content with a motorbike. "The only reason I learned to drive was that a car is more sociable," he says.

"We put millions into developing new products, and someone comes along and turns out the same thing without spending...
Unhappily, the intention somewhat miscarries. The farmers are obviously not working farmers: their hands are soft, their faces are citified, their bodies are city-fed. And the farm is obviously not a working farm: the Japanese peasant is notoriously clean, but this island is so clean that even a fly would starve. Esthetically, too, the film is not natural. It strains for greatness in every frame-the strain shows but the greatness doesn't. Even so, The Island is an impressive work of artifice, surely one of the best movies ever made for less than $20,000. Purists will...
