Along with the three airstrips that are being carved out of the jungle, a number of other installations helpful to the U.S. are under way in Honduras. One is a radar station on Tiger Island, a small outcropping that juts into the critical Gulf of Fonseca. That body of water separates Nicaragua from El Salvador. U.S. military officials are closemouthed about the purpose of the Tiger Island radar station. But the facility will obviously monitor the clandestine arms traffic that the Reagan Administration insists is flowing from Nicaragua to the rebels in El Salvador...

One that will appear this fall is Five Mile Creek, a dramatic series set in Australia in the 1860s. Jimirro also plans to make six to eight movies a year.

Call them the boys of Indian summer. Roy Scheider, 47, and Robert Redford, 46, have both donned pinstripes and taken the field in two new movies about the All-American pastime.

Mao knew about Lin's plot almost from the beginning, and, with the help of Premier Chou Enlai, deliberately chose to kill Lin at the very spot Lin had selected...
...beginning of his day, in a sushi restaurant near the prodigious fish market at Tsukiji in Tokyo, where nearly all the protein for 11 million people arrives fresh before dawn and is gone by 9 a.m. He will breakfast on fatty raw tuna belly, live tiger shrimp, abalone rectums and, if he is lucky, the sperm of red snapper. Such things are not grotesque but delicious; the neophyte must approach them in a spirit of hedonistic calm, interspersing them with commoner raw morsels such as lean tuna or squid...
