...Crimeds--The only evidence of this mythical species is a nest on Plympton street. There have only been few reported sightings of Crimeds, mainly by other species who claim to have entered the nest. Though rumored to be the most highly adapted breed, you'll probably never meet...
...where an estimated 435,000 birds died. January is the off-season for birds in the Shetlands. Had the accident taken place in the spring, when bird migration is in full swing -- as it was in Alaska just after the Exxon Valdez accident -- thousands of guillemots and razorbills, which nest and breed off nearby Sumburgh Head, would have been at risk...

Pierre Schoendoerffer's Dien Bien Phu (yet to open in the U.S.) meticulously restages the climactic French defeat as if it were all about artillery and not national destinies.
