What gives this film a somewhat higher value is the addition of one new character. "84 Charlie MoPic" is an Army term for a documentary cameraman, and all of this film was shot on super-16 mm, as if through his lens. But MoPic provides more than the title; he is responsible for the film's unique point of view. There is no editing in the formal sense. In the field the cameraman must pan from face to face to cover a scene and use his zoom for close-ups. Tracking shots are handheld, often on the run. Sequences...
...longer term, no one is sure what will happen to the area's wildlife. Besides the fish, mollusks and marine microorganisms that inhabit the water, the sound is home to some 10,000 sea otters and, in winter, to 100,000 birds. Later this month, an estimated 1 million more birds will show up at the end of their springtime migration. In addition, there are deer, which graze on kelp deposited along the beaches, and brown bears, just now coming out of hibernation and ready to scavenge on the shore. How many will die depends in part on whether winds...

But when President Amin Gemayel's six-year term expired in September, factional disputes prevented parliament from electing a successor. As his final act, Gemayel named General Michel Aoun, 53, commander of the mainly Christian Lebanese Army, to head an interim government. Muslim groups rejected Aoun and set up their own government headed by Gemayel's last Prime Minister, Selim Hoss...
...purchase of guns and other weaponry from China, a longtime Indian rival. New Delhi regards the deal as a violation of the spirit of its 39-year-old friendship treaty with Katmandu. But Nepal seems determined to stand up to India's pressure, even if that means short-term suffering and completely revising its trade relations. Says a senior Nepalese official: "We will not give an inch...
