...watch, that fact might make it easier for Japanese audiences to embrace it. They aren't required to ponder the psychic cost of the battle on the survivors - few as there were - nor to wonder at the political mistakes that wrought horror from Manchuria to New Guinea. That's not the film Eastwood wanted to make, and that he chose not to takes nothing away from his accomplishment. But if he had, I doubt that Abe would have walked out of a screening calling it a "very good film" - and that $40 million gross might have come...
...Lowell House, Annie R. Riley ’07 of Quincy House, and Amy R. Tao ’07 of Currier House. The fellowship was established in 1966 in memory of Michael C. Rockefeller ’60, who drowned off the coast of New Guinea following a Peabody Museum Expedition there in 1961. Busch said he plans to spend his year studying fishing culture in Indonesia after a work experience this summer off the coast of North Carolina piqued his interest in the industry. Spending time in both city ports and smaller villages, Busch will study the ways...
...less than a year after graduating from Harvard College, Michael C. Rockefeller ’60 joined the Peabody Museum’s 1961 New Guinea Expedition as a sound recordist and photographer.

"Every time anybody goes searching in P.N.G. anywhere, they find new things." Richards estimates that 350 species of frog have been identified on the island of New Guinea, but predicts the number will eventually pass 600. With frog populations worldwide under threat from habitat destruction, fungus infections and introduced predators, Richards, whose research is funded by Conservation International, believes recording the amphibians is of vital importance. "New Guinea, outside of the Amazon and some areas of central Africa...
