...operating next door to an open-air crafts market. Footpaths wind through the built-up eastern third of Seaside's 80 acres, punctuated by gazebos and arbors. Davis wants only about 20 new houses built every year. The gradualism is meant to let Seaside's social fabric keep pace with the physical growth: when only a few dozen newcomers arrive each season, everybody stays familiar...
...declined into extended archness of phrase and plot. He found his way again in last year's Flynn's In, featuring his other series character, Boston Police Official Francis X. Flynn. The film of Fletch, starring Chevy Chase, was a summer comedy hit, and Fletch Won continues the upbeat pace. Here the brash young man is observed in what Hollywood calls a "prequel," an adventure that takes place at the start of his career. Mcdonald has a discerning ear for the cocky conversation of youth and an eye for its pratfall bravado...
...with a twelve-point rise in the closely watched Dow Jones industrial average, to 788. The runaway Dow took only six months to close above the 1100 mark for the first time ever and just two more to break 1200. Though the market slowed to a more dawdling pace for more than a year, it came roaring back again last spring. The Dow zipped past 1300 in May, and last week it made history again by crashing through the 1400 barrier. It ended the week...

Set in the 1930s, the film has an unhurried pace, and the amplitude with which it envisions the land, its alternation of the idyllic and the menacing, evokes one of that era's classic forms, the road movie. And then, in effect, reimagines it. Here the road movie's traditional protagonist, the wayfarer whose only resources are wit and courage, is transformed into a young girl. Enchantingly played by Meredith Salenger, 14, Natty is obviously more imperiled by the hobo life than a man would...
Despite that rapid and spontaneous outpouring, rescue work at Armero proceeded at a slow and frustrating pace. The torrential mudslides washed away roads and bridges, limiting efforts to deliver both rescuers and relief supplies. Foul weather and the continuing down pour of volcanic ash from the smoking mountain kept Colombian helicopters away from Armero until Thursday afternoon. Only on Friday could the U.S. fly in any of the big CH-47 Chinook helicopters, capable of evacuating dozens of people at a time. In the interim, only nine small helicopters, able to carry just a handful of victims each, had flown...
