...dispatched to the township of Port Lincoln, 170 miles west of Adelaide, Australia. From there he was to sail 20 miles out into the gulf in company of Underwater Photographers Ron and Valerie Taylor and be lowered over the side of a ship in a special steel mesh cage. Rizzo's role, doubling for one of the film's leading actors, was simply to persevere while a great white shark tried to trash...
...despite all this talk of fighting, Pipes is uncomfortable with disorder. Although he mentions the well-known assassination attempts on the tsars in the late 1800s, he neglects the early seventeenth-century Time of Troubles when there was no absolute patrimonial power in existence. It doesn't mesh with Pipe's thesis, so he leaves it out. He also takes little notice of the political and social havoc wreaked by the Napoleonic War.

...Slive becomes moody, thumbing through racks of paintings in one of the Fogg's storage depots.

You can put it in a little bag and take it with you anywhere." For about $4,000, you can take...
LIKE THE YOUNG girl trapped in the sunrise-to-sunset rituals and routines of summer camp, all of Johanna Kaplan's characters try to trace out an existence apart from the tangle of personalities whose lives never quite mesh with their own. Success is not a shared feature of their struggle; it's too easy to opt for an extreme solution, to let one's inner life give way to silent partnership in other people's fantasies, or, worse, to protect against this kind of dissolution by erecting a rock-like barrier between oneself and the world--a barrier proofed...
