...moment he is several hundred miles south of Hollywood, filming at the Mexican beach town of Rosarito on a 40-acre site dominated by a massive 750-ft.-long re-creation of the ship--a hulking shell built almost to scale. It rests in a 17 million-gal. tank, and will be lowered into the water by degrees. Tonight's shoot takes place on the poop deck, which can be tilted as much as 90[degrees] by hydraulic lifts.

...hardly unique. Thousands of frustrated flushers have joined what is turning into a low-flow-toilet revolt. In Maryland homeowners are picking up large-capacity models at yard sales. Affluent Angelenos are buying two toilets: a new 1.6-gal. low-flow for show and an old 3.5-gal. tank that they install after the building inspector leaves.
