Alaskans speak of the rest of the mainland American States as ' the lower 48 ', a disparaging term that reflects the cultural gap as well as the physical distance between them. That gap has led to constant mistakes in the way Washington runs the distant State. Now, another Washington decision on Alaska has implications that stretch far beyond its boundaries, in an uneasy tug-of-war between the endangered Bowhead Whale, the Eskimo whale-hunters of the Arctic coast, and the oilmen seeking new oil to replenish America's rapidly dwindling stocks. The BBC's Economics Correspondent. James Long. has been to Alaska to see the problems for himself.

Vicki by JOHN KIRKMORRIS with Elizabeth Proud as Victoria M. Endicott
VICKI: Why don't you bung me the occasional packet of fags or a really nice cigar?
PYE: A woman with a cigar in her phiz is a defilement of Nature.
VICKI: Well, defile me once in a while.
PYE: Your language, young lady, is an outrage.
Vicki is a bright child-woman of 15, resolute and outspoken and deeply romantic -a seeming sophisticate with an innocence defying evil. But she is also about to ruin her hard-pressed mother's plan to solve their money problems....

'Most people agree to up and go their separate ways without going through all this nonsense. Either they have a furious row or a civilised agreement or something. They don't go through this rigmarole of deadlines and parties to celebrate the parting of the ways. It's absurd.'
