...early days of static, pictorial movie-making. I prefer the raging, audacious Kurosawa of "Seven Samurai" and "Yojimbo," but this simple piece, a memoir about a little old hunter, has undeniable charm, pathos, and humor. The rich colors and meticulous compositions become frustrating after awhile--we want Kurosawa to shake off his awe of the wilderness and plunge into it with the old daring and fervor--but there's something heartwarming about a touch this sure, and the wisdom and taste to know when sentimentality is appropriate. Every once in awhile, this can be exhilerating: a jaunty succession of browned...

...extreme case, perhaps, but a telling one. The defiant students who marched behind antiwar banners, experimented with drugs and challenged their parents' values during the shake-'em-up days of the 1960s are young adults today. Many of them, and a lot more of their classmates who never chanted a slogan or smoked a joint, are channeling their talents into the corporate world. As they rise in company ranks, these junior executives are presenting some unusual challenges to their bosses, who have had to accommodate new life-styles and non-negotiable demands for increased personal attention, intensive career planning, openness...

Among other advances, it has computer-controlled wings that automatically change shape during tight, fast moves, allowing a pilot to shake off a pursuing plane and most missiles in wrenching operations, like 360° revolving turns. Fortunately, F-16s have a special seat that tilts back 30°, like a barber's chair, to ease the punishing pull of gravity in sharp turns and loops. As a result, says Rider...

Arabs from the nearby town of Turmus 'Aiya are understandably furious. When the settlers arrived a month ago, they blocked the road with stones. Israeli troops forced them to remove the roadblocks, but the anger remains. Arab children shake their fists at cars heading toward the settlement, as TIME'S Robert Slater discovered during a visit to Shiloh last week. The settlers have no telephones and must use one in an Arab cafe a mile away; when they do, they go armed...

...during which, normally, passes would be dropped, quarterbacks sacked, or egregiously erroneous calls made by officials. Milder side effects include the opening of phantom beer cans and hurriedly placed phone calls to bookies for a nonexistent point spread. After a six-month diet of football, the American public must shake a national habit, and the transition is not easy. In the home of the Super Bowl Champion Dallas Cowboys, for example, police report more than twice the daily average of violent assaults on the Sunday after the football season ends. Spats between spouses can take a nasty turn. Old scores...
