	DVD Booty - Road to Rio
		Bob Hope and Bing Crosby ushered in 1947's "Road to Rio" with zany wit, plenty of style, and the Andrew Sisters.
		"Road to Rio" is perhaps as comedic and stunning as their earlier "Road to Morocco".
		However, the real currency of "Road to Rio" is a stellar cast, including Gale Sondergaard, Frank Faylen, Ray Teal,Charles Middleton, future horror star Tor Johnson, and the hilarious Jerry Colonna.

		Bouncing around on Rosa's unruly dirt roads had all but worn through the bearing casings on the front wheels - another 200 kilometres and they would have given out completely, allowing the axle to spin free of its housing and thus create a breakdown of catastrophically expensive (and dangerous) proportions.
		This section is well served by the BR101, a road which, if you sit on it and press the accelerator for long enough, will deliver you to the USA (though it won't, of course, guarantee that the Americans will let you cross the border), and it was our favourite bit of the trip.
		My chief impression was of a city of retirees, populated (at least in the more salubrious parts) by people who bought property here in the 1960s and 1970s and are now seeing out their calmer years in sun- and memory-drenched comfort.

		As part of implementing this alternative, the 550-foot stretch of road would be immediately closed (through the placement of ``jersey barriers'') to quickly realize increased security and to facilitate construction associated with Phase III expansion activities.
		After construction, a portion of the exit road and corresponding land would be donated to the City of Del Rio as a public right-of-way (figure available at http://public.geo-marine.com/).
		The entire length of exit road could then be used by the City of Del Rio and the Government for the construction of a bypass road replacing Rio Grande Road.

		The reason this is so annoying is that Director Norman Z. McLeod (perhaps the most accomplished comedy director of the entire "Road" series) was a cartoonist and drew a series of amusing little stick-figure caricatures of the cast and crew that appear in the lower right hand corner of Road to Rio's opening credits.
		It's a shame that Road to Rio and Road to Bali are not owned by Universal (which owns all of Paramount's pre-1948 releases including the first four "Road" films).
		Even with the letterboxing glitch, this DVD of Road to Rio is a wonderful way to celebrate the centennial of one of Hollywood's greatest comedy teams.

	Corpus Christi Online - / Flooding reignites battle over Rio Grande road
		LAREDO - A six-mile caliche road on the banks of the Rio Grande has generated almost two years of legal controversy, and damage caused by rising flood waters has heated up the battle once again.
		The road is part of the Border Patrol's Operation Rio Grande, a program with the mission of extending the reach of Border Patrol agents along the banks of the river and away from the populated downtown areas.
		A group of environmentalists from the Rio Grande International Study Center in Laredo sought a preliminary injunction in federal court in early 1998, asking the court to stop the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from building the road until an adequate environmental assessment was done.

		As usual, Hope volunteers Crosby for crazy stunts and pockets the payment received for such devilishness, while Crosby hones his self-serving coward routine when he offers to help the suicidal Lamour throw herself overboard rather than be discovered as a stowaway.
		Rio is also enhanced by the appearance of the Wiere Brothers as a trio of Brazilian musicians recruited by Crosby to play the parts of musicians in his non-existent band.
		Armed with only three English expressions – 'You're telling me," "You're in the groove, Jackson," and "This is murder," – to fool the owner of the club in which they are playing into believing they are American, the trio embark on a clever routine that leaves Hope and Crosby standing on the sidelines.

		Although East-West issues languished on the back burner at Rio, where North-South cleavages dominated, and progress over the past four years in correcting the environmental abuses of communist industrial policies has been disappointing, this action plan may make it possible for the region to gain a small part of the post-Rio agenda.
		The next opportunity to institutionalize the global NGO movement that came together in Rio may be "Partnerships for Change," a conference scheduled for 20 to 22 September 1993 to be hosted by the British government.
		Another effort to maintain the momentum created by NGOs at the Global Forum in Rio last June is the International Workshop on Environment and Poverty scheduled for 22 through 24 July 1993 in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

		This series entry, which involves Lamour duping Hope and Crosby into taking her on a safari to her betrothed, ranks with the original Road To Singapore as the best of the Road pictures.

		Then, in ROAD TO MOROCCO, the famous ad-libbing and rapid fire delivery of dialogue is apparent and the film is zany from beginning to end as the duo are involved with a Moroccan Princess (Dorothy Lamour) and an angry Shiek (Anthony Quinn).
