...happen. In the months after Pearl Harbor, more than 110,000 "persons of Japanese ancestry" (those with 1/16th Japanese blood or more) were forcibly relocated from the West Coast to inland internment camps in desolate areas of Wyoming, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Idaho, Utah and Arizona. Most were American citizens. One-third were resident aliens born in Japan and therefore, under the law of the time, ineligible for citizenship. No act of espionage or sabotage was attributed to a Japanese American during World War II. They were summarily imprisoned and their constitutional rights suspended solely because of their race. One thousand...
...middle class has moved away from the ETA, and Basques in general have wearied of the struggle, the terrorists have come to draw most of their support-and recruits-from the dismal industrial suburbs that dot the narrow Basque mountain valleys some 20 to 25 miles inland. One such is Renteria (pop. 18,000), which adjoins the old Spanish summer royal residence of San Sebastian. A river running through town has the sickly sweet stench of dumped industrial wastes. A pall of chemical smoke from paper, plastics and cement factories hangs over the area on all but the windiest days...
...STANDS, Tarzan, the Ape Man is a misleading title for the movie. Tarzan has very little to do with anything. Something like Bo Derek Takes Off Her Shirt in Exotic Places would be much more appropriate.

And rumor has it that she even took off her shirt to wrestle with an alligator, but, alas, that scene was left on the cutting room floor by censors...
...Testament hints that Moses headed inland to avoid a confrontation with the Philistines. Yet archaeological findings have long indicated that at the time of the Exodus-about the 13th century B.C.-the Philistines had not yet established themselves in the coastal region around Gaza. Now after nearly ten years' digging in the Gaza Strip, Archaeologist Trude Dothan, 57, of Jerusalem's Hebrew University, has found indications that the Israelites went into the desert to elude not the Philistines but the very people from whom they were escaping-Egyptians. The evidence: the remains of a large Egyptian community just...
...port of Jidda and the inland capital of Riyadh, each with a population of more than 1 million today have become two of the fastest growing cities in the Middle East. Skyscrapers sprout from the desert landscape. Building cranes bristle across the horizon. Multi-lane highways and ringroads girdle the cities. Old neighborhoods change dramatically in a matter of weeks; new ones spring up overnight. The din of traffic and construction, residents complain, makes it virtually impossible to sleep after...
