...business of plot has been taken care of (in a scant 30 minutes), Stallone gets down to his bread and butter, training and fight scenes. The last hour of this short film is filled with flashbacks from the first three Rocky incarnations, scenes of the Italian Stallion hauling a sled full of chopped wood up a 90-degree cliff in training, and finally the American boxer stopping hundreds of punishing sounding blows with his forehead and chin and upper cheekbones. Apparently, Rocky thinks that masochistic training strengthens the bones in the human head to the extent that a steamroller running...
...Paris-based Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea (IFREMER). The two ships bristled with several million dollars' worth of sophisticated equipment. It included a high-resolution sonar device that can trace precisely the contours of the ocean floor, and a compact submersible vessel towed like a sled on a cable, which relayed photographs and videotape confirming the Titanic find. For some of the investigators, the biggest thrill was that their experimental equipment worked. "This allows us to open up deep-sea exploration on a much, much larger scale than before," says Woods Hole Director John Steele. "We couldn...
...sturdy submersible that photographed the Titanic has a legendary forebear: it was named for the ship sailed by the Greek hero Jason as he searched for the Golden Fleece. And roam the Argo does, skimming just above the ocean floor like a giant sled. Designed to map deep-sea hills and gulleys, the craft can descend to depths of 20,000 ft. and remain underwater indefinitely. Essentially, it is a 16-ft.-long cage fashioned to protect a clutch of strobe lights, side-scanning sonar devices and an array of cameras from marine flotsam. The entire contraption is tied umbilically...
...rainbow appeared outside our window. It was very magical, and then I threw up. That was the first time I realized I was with child." As a memento of their visit, Spielberg bought a Monet, which hangs on their living room wall. In the den is the original Rosebud sled used in Citizen Kane. As for the discipline of fatherhood, Spielberg will let history be his guide: "My mom spoiled me. I'll spoil the baby. Amy will be strong with Max, and I'll be the pushover." But he promises a change. "Until now Amy and I have looked...
...last week dispatched four Sea Stallion helicopters, support equipment and about 200 men to join the search. Their mission was not just to destroy the mines but to find and analyze them first. A Sea Stallion, flying at an altitude of 200 to 300 feet, uses a "sled" to tow a sonar detecting system through the water. Once a suspected mine is located, the unit sends divers down to take a look at the object...
