...darkest Africa by a lost tribe of lithe, fair-skinned vixens, whose only desire is that he stay and propagate the race. The scholarly but virile anthropologist always has a beautiful fiancee back at the university to whom neither love potion nor dance of the seven virgin starlets can keep him from returning...
...Accidents. The two-year production repeatedly ran into trouble. Lamorisse had to spend $180,000 for equipment to keep the camera-bearing helicopter from vibrating, had to get government permits every time his balloon went up or came down. More drastically, the shooting often endangered the lives of his stars, one of them his ten-year-old son Pascal (who at six played the boy in The Red Balloon). No trick photography was used. Once, the balloon exploded, and the occupants, including Pascal, narrowly escaped death as the basket plunged to the ground. Lamorisse reworked the script to make...

Some communities keep grades 7 and 8 in elementary school, some plump for a six-year high school, and still others hold that the separate three-year junior high school gives combustible half-adolescents a chance to grow at their own pace. In reality, says Conant, the junior high often becomes "a replica of the senior high school with its attendant social pressures." Hitting hard at pretentious commencements, big-time football and marching bands that "serve merely...
