While pay scales are a major factor, housing's cost problem reaches far beyond wages. The $24 billion industry has been fettered for decades by myriad little, mostly local ties that bind it to old-fashioned methods and an archaic organization. Each strand of that web reinforces the others&$151;enormously inflating the price of the final product...
...much more space than this column can devote to it (its re-release was announced alarmingly close to press deadlines), is far and away the most fascinating film to appear in Boston this year. The work of nouvelle-vague director Claude Charbol (Les Cousins), The Champagne Murders unfolds web-like with the violent surrealism of a nightmare.

Ever since then, ABC engineers have been skittering across the slopes of the Alps like spiders, spinning out a 40-mile web of cables. With the help of helicopters, snowcats and a detachment from the French army, they swaddled the 350-lb. color cameras in heated jackets and positioned them on rocky precipices as high as 7,400 feet...
