...bluntly, un- American. This feeling not infrequently is reinforced by straightforward, ugly racism. Neil Rogers, who conducts a talk show on Miami radio station WINZ, last December broadcast a prediction of continued heavy Cuban immigration into South Florida and invited his listeners to comment. "Shoot them before they land," suggested one caller. More often, Anglos simply avoid contact with Hispanics. Bob Lansing, who runs a collection agency in Beverly Hills, grew up in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of East Los Angeles when it was predominantly Jewish. Now that it has become a Mexican-American neighborhood, he tries to stay...
...object in a low orbit around the earth, despite the distorting effect of the atmosphere. Such a capability is important because Star Wars planners want to station high-powered lasers on the ground, where they could be as big as necessary and easily maintained. These lasers would shoot beams up to orbiting mirrors, which would then direct the destructive light at incoming missiles...

...autumn of 1913, and as the war clouds gather over Europe, a cross section of the English nobility gathers at Sir Randolph Nettleby's estate for a weekend's shoot. The symbolic correlation between the mass destruction of feathered innocents and the slaughter soon to ensue in France seems a little cruder onscreen than it did in Isabel Colegate's subtle novel of manners, as do the human dramas played out around the mansion. But as Sir Randolph, the late James Mason, whose last performance this was, is superb in his distracted eccentricity, especially in a scene with John Gielgud...
