...Americans -- down from 68% since just last March -- believe that stricter gun control would have any impact on violent crime. "There is absolutely no way the legislation is going to stop the bad guys from getting guns," argues Sergeant Robin Cook, a 14-year veteran of the Forest Heights, Maryland, police force. "With a lot of breaking and enterings, that's exactly what they're going for. They lift up the mattresses, they go through the closets, they're looking for handguns." Even a total ban on handguns wouldn't solve the problem, since there are already 67 million handguns...
...powerfully ends with the new Snow scene after the nutcracker has turned into a prince and taken Clara to an enchanted forest. Trinidad Sevillano and Patrick Armand, as the Snow Queen and King, dance the newly choreographed movements with awe-inspiring strength and grace--not an easy task with snow falling throughout the scene, creating a slippery floor. The sweeping arm gestures with delicate bourre leg movement perfectly echo the motion of falling snow while the intertwining dancers surrounding the queen and king create spacial patterns on stage that mimic the delicate shape of a snowflake. Act I closes...
...film rising above its material. "Rashomon" is an example of a very cinematic film, one in which the camera is an active participant, so much so that film critics have called it Kurosawa's "fifth witness." In a justifiably famous sequence, the camera follows the woodcutter into the forest, traveling behind him, then in front of him, around him, below him when he crosses a footbridge, until at last we see the dead man's arms stiff from rigor mortis. It is a dazzling tour de force, the kind of sequence that sends film school students into raptures...
...where Christopher Columbus' crew landed on the explorer's second voyage to the New World; the date was Nov. 14, 1493. A 370-hectare enclave on this island's north shore, the Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve has the largest remaining mangrove forest in the Virgin Islands. The park harbors a wide variety of endangered flora and fauna, including giant swamp ferns and bottle-nosed dolphins, and includes an underwater canyon filled with coral reefs, caves and grottoes, open to scuba divers. Camping is not allowed on park grounds, but travelers can stay at hotels...
Baucus' letter, though it may stiffen the spines of the regulating agencies, probably won't be enough to stop the mine. Noranda and Crown Butte may well get a permit to operate. A draft environmental-impact statement is expected by summer, shepherded by the Forest Service and the Montana State Lands Department, two agencies generally considered to be pro-development. The fact is that the outdated 1872 mining law, which treats the U.S. as if it were an underdeveloped country to be exploited, does not allow the agencies to say no to a permit. They can say only "yes, provided...
