Another reason for the decline can be traced to the salmon's itinerant habits. Bristol Bay red salmon, the most lucrative catch among Alaska's five main species, roam far afield during their five-year life cycles; for two years after spawning they take off on a 6,000-mile grand circle tour of the north Pacific before they swim back to mate and die in the same streams where they were born. Though international fishing treaties preclude other nations, notably the Japanese, from fishing closer to Alaska than 175° west longitude, the fish themselves cross that...
...time which shapes the society Penn portrays. His view of the depression is closer to that of Walker Evans than Dorothea Lange, and he has peopled his film with faces of unspectacular emptiness. Everyone is dispossessed: those who hold jobs are as desperate and restless as those who roam the territory in broken-down trucks. The desolation of the environment shapes the lethargy and fustration of its population...
Street fights between warring Red Guards have left, so the stories go, dozens of bodies, stripped and sometimes skinned, dangling from lampposts and trees or rotting in the gutters.

"They are exploited by all kinds of people," says Fouratt, "and what's going to happen when winter comes and they can't sleep in the park?" Not that sleeping in the park is any too healthy in summer: last week a 15-year-old runaway...
...some of the world's prickliest countries, A.P.P. men report from 144 nations and territories outside France. Now that the Reuters man in Peking has been placed under house arrest, A.F.P.'s Jean Vincent and René Flipo are the only Western correspondents left at liberty to roam the streets as they please in search of news. An A.F.P. man reports regularly from Hanoi, and during the six-day war between the Arabs and Israelis, the agency maintained service from Cairo, Damascus and Amman from war's be ginning through the ceasefire...
