Among the undaunted was Jack Grimm, a restless Texas oil millionaire who previously had searched for quarries less tangible than the Titanic: Noah's Ark, Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster. Between 1980 and 1983 he lavished $2 million on three elaborate Titanic expeditions, masterminded by Columbia University Marine Geologist William Ryan and Fred Spiess of the Scripps Oceanographic Institute in La Jolla, Calif. Using prototypes of the Knorr- Suroit sonar technology and submersible cameras, Ryan and Spiess mapped large swatches of ocean floor and took intriguing images of something that Grimm, at least, is convinced resembled the propeller...
...Raiders of the Lost Ark and Starman, as the soulful daughter Laura. TV Star James Naughton (Trauma Center, Planet of the Apes) as Laura's "gentleman caller." And John Sayles, filmmaker (Return of the Secaucus Seven) and novelist (Union Dues), making his professional stage debut as Tom, the restless, seething son who narrates Tennessee Williams' doom-struck "memory play" about his family. Add a designer who has won a Tony nomination, a director who has mounted more than 100 productions at venues including the New York City Opera, and even a speech coach who has worked on eleven Broadway shows...
...wonders if the industry may not think Spielberg is "a little too young and too successful. He has done so well, it may be a long time before anyone bestows on him any brassworks for the fireplace"). But even with that statuette, one suspects that Spielberg would still be restless. He would still crave those moments when he can spin amazing stories for himself, his kid sisters and a world of children in the dark. To demand that he revoke his inexhaustible thirst for wonder would be like asking Dickens to be Dreiser, or Peter Pan to settle down...
...mediator, Neves had once before been called upon at a crucial juncture in Brazilian history. In 1961 the country's generals grew restless under a populist President, Joao Goulart. Neves was asked to take the newly created job of Prime Minister, thus diluting Goulart's power. By accepting, he helped preserve civilian rule a little longer. Two years after Neves stepped down in 1962, Goulart was overthrown in a coup. The military ruled until Neves won the presidency last January...
What is more, the restless tectonic plates spawn volcanic eruptions, which spew carbon dioxide into the air. The increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide results in a greenhouse effect, which traps the sun's energy, causing temperatures on land and in the sea to rise markedly. Conversely, crustal movement may allow frigid ocean currents from the poles to invade tropical waters, leading to a worldwide drop in temperatures. Those species that cannot adapt to the earth's erratic behavior simply succumb. To many paleontologists, as well as geologists, it seemed to make sense...
