...supposedly based on his own experiences, will follow three characters -- the police lieutenant, a rising young mobster (Anthony Denison) and a lawyer (Stephen Lang) -- over a period of nearly two decades.

...give way under mounting water pressure behind it, there is no guarantee. He suggests that a channel be dug from the lake to the sea, bypassing the Situk so that the trapped water can escape without affecting the river.

When Les Brown's annual State of the World report was launched one morning last week, the stage props included a glass of grapefruit juice, a bowl of All Bran and a banana, a worn corduroy suit with an outlandish bow tie, and a solitary walk on snow- soaked Hush Puppies down Washington's 19th Street to the offices of Worldwatch Institute.
