But since to this day no one knows who perpetrated the crime or what their motives were, director Roger Donaldson and screenwriters Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais have had to make up most of their tale. On the whole, they've made a pretty good job of it. For example, they posit the scandalous possibility that pictures of Princess Margaret, engaging in a threesome on a Caribbean island have been stored in one of the boxes...

The Beavers--nature's engineers--had just dropped another heartbreaker, an overtime defeat to the University of La Verne, 80-74. Playing on its home court in Pasadena, the California Institute of Technology (Caltech's full name) had a 9-point lead in the first half. Yet the Beavers kept the most infamous streak in college hoops alive. "One little rebound, one little loose ball--if one part...
