...have that effect. The manufacturers are also trying to adapt existing jetliners to new uses. Boeing has already developed a smaller version of its original jumbo jet called the 7475P. It will carry 100 fewer passengers (capacity: 280 seats), burn 10% less fuel and fly much faster than its parent. These advantages persuaded Pan Am officials to stretch the airline's thin financial resources to lease five of the planes for the New York-to-Tokyo run.

...actually Pamina's father, and has snatched her from her mother's clutches out of paternal concern for her own good. According to the original text this is all wrong. The High Priest is traditionally a somewhat remote cult figure; here he has become a gentle, tender-eyed parent--the sort of man Liv Ullman should have been married to in Scenes From a Marriage. Although this change makes the scenes between him and Pamina affectionate and even moving, the fight over Pamina now seems to be the result of a broken home, and the pure moral struggle between...
