...SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN and RING OF BRIGHT WATER are two children's films that parents should appreciate as well. Mountain is the story of a Canadian lad who runs off to the woods, and Ring is the real-life tale of a London accountant and his pet otter...
...speech before it was delivered. But partly as a result of subsequent reporting out of Washington, he discovered hidden nuances that disturbed him.

Technically, the charges against Davis are grand and petty larceny, but District Attorney Burton Roberts found Davis' real crime a bit different. "If there were a crime of chutzpah [gall]" he said, "this man would be charged with it in the first degree...
