...season for the Canadian lobster fishermen. When they're not lobstering, they spend their time long mining. Long mining is a laborious process in which the fishermen drop a 10,000-yd. long rope with fish lines spliced into it at 6-ft. intervals into the water. The fishermen haul up the rope and remove the catch, rebaiting every line as they go along...
...three days, Shepherd has been haunting the A & A, awaiting the arrival, by Greyhound bus from Salt Lake City, of a part for his brown Triumph sports car. The Triumph suffered a blown head gasket after pulling a U-Haul trailer up one mountain grade too many. Shepherd wears his hair long, sports a scraggly beard, an earring in his left ear lobe and a gold marijuana leaf in his collar. He is going to the University of Colorado in Boulder, where he will study molecular biology. He is impatient to leave Evanston, this cowboy and oil town where they...
Shepherd is only one of several bit players in the cinema verite unfolding at this particular American crossroads. The set: a cement driveway, four pumps (ethyl, regular and lead-free), two tiled bathrooms, two mechanics' bays and a battery of U-Haul trailers for rent.

Usually they are towed in by Jon Lunsford, 40, soft-spoken Mormon and "the Boss...
...charm. Romy Schneider is extraordinarily attractive as the woman, and Victor Lanoux (of Cousin, Cousine) offers both stalwart charm and ideological reticence as the revolutionary. We are allowed to gather that what makes him more attractive than her husband, who is funnier and probably better company over the long haul, is that belief in something beyond oneself tends to make a fellow more exciting sexually. A dubious point, but sufficient for a movie which, like others written by Semprun (notably La Guerre Est Finie), insists that there is a link between the romantic and the revolutionary spirits. Since that...
...smaller loads (80 to 109 passengers) and shorter hops (100 to 200 miles), the nationalized British Aerospace plans to roll out its four-engine Model 146-200 in 1982. A few years later, Boeing hopes to introduce a far more advanced short-haul plane; it will be adapted from the QSRA (for Quiet Short Haul Research Airplane), which Boeing developed for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The plane will be ideal for commuters, since it can take off and land on extremely short runways. Reason: its four engines mounted atop the wing blow exhaust over the upper surface, creating...
