...scintillating La Caravelle restaurant, while her Secret Service escort went around the corner for a less Lucullan lunch. Their rented Mercury stayed put in a "no parking-tow away" zone. Along came Patrolman Joseph Polly, and by the time Lynda had finished her meal the windshield wiper wore a green $15 parking ticket...
Eight casinos, all but one operated by foreigners, who give the state 63% of the profits, are now available to foreign visitors-to the disgust of some orthodox party types. "Yugoslavia's flag should be two crossed croupier rakes on a green baize field," grumbled one in print recently.

...year-old Miguel (Pat Cardi), whose only real problem is growing up. Manly ambition has begun to stir in the boy's child body, and he aches to join the men of his family. Sheepherders for many generations, they spend every summer with their flocks in the green grazing lands of the Sangre de Cristo mountains. So Miguel waits, but not idly, for his time to come. And for the viewer, months shrink into moments full of rich detail. Miguel encounters and narrowly escapes a rattlesnake, goes with his brother on a hunt for a predatory bobcat, adopts...
