...youngsters' characters are hardly sketched in at all. A possible romance be tween Garfield and the team's nurse-chaperone (Kathleen Lloyd) is also left hanging vaguely in air. The team's adventures on the road are neither funny nor harrowing. Even the racing scenes are suspenselessly developed to resemble all the other skateboarding sequences; no where is there any pace, style or excitement. One can only hope that this bad, visibly cheap film will not entirely preempt further explorations of a curious little world. There is still a good movie in it somewhere...
...battle left Braniff stranded. On March 1, it flew a 747 loaded with celebrities to Britain for what it had planned as a gala inauguration of its new run be tween London and Dallas-Fort Worth. The Life Guards band turned out at Gatwick airport to serenade the orange jumbo jet with The Yellow Rose of Texas. But the British government would not let Braniff fly passengers back to the U.S. at the new low fares, and the U.S. Civil Aeronautics Board refused to let Braniff charge the high fares. Result: the plane flew back with its nonpaying passengers...
Scientists generally agree on the basic cause of lightning: the buildup of enough voltage, or electrical potential, between clouds and earth (or be tween different clouds) to overcome the resistance of the insulating layer of air between them. The buildup occurs when electrons, perhaps carried by falling water droplets, migrate to the bottom of a cloud, giving it a strong negative charge. Because like charges repel, that negative charge drives away electrons in the ground below, leaving it with an excess positive charge. Eventually, the voltage between cloud and ground becomes so great that electrons burst across the insulating...
...Trudeau's Liberals, was not simply that the Mounties had operated beyond the law but that they felt free to spy on a legal, democratically constituted political party. "What is happening in this country?" cried anguished New Democratic M.P. Stuart Leggatt. "Th government should try to distinguish be tween subversion and political dissent...
...shim mering column of air blasted from its own nozzles, which the pilot must swivel horizontally for ordinary flight. One reason why not just any eager young pilot should fly a Harrier, says British Air Commodore Paddy Hines, is that it must often fly at be tween 250 and 500 ft. - an exercise demanding "high concentration and a very hard work load from its pilots." Two-thirds of the R.A.F. Harrier pilots had at least 1,000 flying hours on other aircraft before they were selected for Harrier training. Those with less than 1,000 hours are called "first tourists...
