Nepal's King Mahendra is a poet, tiger hunter and consummate wheeler-dealer. As monarch of a mile-high, land locked nation, one of whose principal exports is the steely little Gurkha soldier, Mahendra labors not only to hold his throne but also to keep his little kingdom from the jaws of its giant neighbors, Red China and India. He does this so successfully that, far from becoming a tasty morsel for its neigh bors, Nepal has wheedled all manner of goodies from both- not to mention the U.S. and Russia...
...like the Internal twin halves of a big midwestern University, chances are you will have to take it sooner or later. Even the oldest bulwarks of bachelorhood and separation are crumbling. Princeton admitted five women this year; Hamilton plans to take 400 by 1970. Men have begun matriculating at Hunter, Bennington, and Smith graduate schools.

...Costa Ricans are the portable refrigerators, battery-operated LP phonographs and folding beds of the Kenya set.

There is the bobo, or bubblefish, an elusive silverside that dwells in the rapids and attacks a wet fly like something good to eat. There is the machaca, an acrobatic inhabitant of still-water pockets that looks like a cross between a herring and a white shad and often leaps itself...
...film's brilliant climax, Mifune and his quarry battle in a flower-strewn thicket outside a suburban home where a housewife is practicing the piano. Mifune is shot, but hunter and hunted go on fighting through mud and marsh until they drop at last onto a bed of shrubbery. As a group of children go singsonging along the road nearby, both lie gasping, indistinguishable one from the other. Which is which? Kurosawa tenderly draws the line between good and evil: the killer begins...
