...quite a different plane is Last Wave Director Peter Weir's earlier Picnic at Hanging Rock. Though not scheduled for the New York festival, it is a haunting re-creation of a true incident in 19th century Australian history, in which some schoolgirls disappear from an outback outing, never to be seen again, and with no satisfactory explanation for their disappearance ever discovered. Weir creates an oppressive atmosphere, a compound of heat, isolation and sexual innuendo that is quite singular.

Then came the first odd incident of the day. A 30-yd. Bosnic field goal attempt with 2:57 to go in the half sailed into the arm of Penn's Kevin Weir instead of through the goalpost.

There are those of us who would swim the Atlantic...
...they retain their oft-publicized position as the high priests of acid. Despite the death by excess in everything, particularly alcohol, of the immortal Pigpen (Ron McKernan) back in 1973, the Dead roll on, forever, it seems. Garcia (Captain Trips himself and the director of the movie), Lesh, Weir, kreutzman and Hart have played together for so long that they have developed the kind of tightness few groups can ever hope to achieve...
