Introduction Report Contents Th/s report provides an overview of the first 15 years of the Environmental Studies Program (ESP), conducted initia//y by the Bureau of Land Management and now as part of the Minerals Management Service. From 1973 to 1988, the ESP spent nearly $500 million on studies directd to better understand the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) and coastal environment and to use this information to document or predict effects of offshore oil and gas activities. This report organizes the hundreds of comp/eted studies and thousands of resu/ting documents into 15 study topic chapters. Each chapter (e.g., physical oceanography) cites se/ected studies and provides a general discussion of program objectives and results. Where appropriate, each topic is discussed by OCS Region (A/aska, Atlantic, Gu/f of Mexico, and Pacific). A more comprehensive listing of ESP reports and associated publications can be found in OCSEAP (1988) and Johnson et al. (1989). The goal of this report is to provide readers with a genera/ account of the ESP’S technics/ accomplishments and sources of detailed information. To understand the ES~ howeve~ it is necessaty to p/ace this program in perspective with the entire OCS oil and gas program. The rest of his chapter provides background on the history of the ES~ the OCS leasing process, and the planning processes and ongoing objectives of the ES/?

    NOTES ON JEFFREY HUNTER AND HIS FILMS by Jim Meyer "Jeffrey Hunter is beautiful!" a girl friend gurgled to me some 15 years ago. And indeed he was, as any man not envious of Hunter's impressive 6' 1" height and blue-eyed, brown-haired handsomeness must admit. As is well enough known, many film actors have little more to offer audiences than handsomeness. But far too many critics (men and women alike) too quickly tabbed the exceptionally hand- some actor "beautiful but bland." But teen-age girls didn't mind. Many didn't care whether he could act. In Jeffrey Hunter they saw (or thought they saw) a dream prince, a husky young god, who could fulfill their most imaginative fantasies. Less dazzled male viewers saw something else: a man who was handsome enough for them to resent, largely, one suspects, because many of them wished that his good looks belonged to them, and, not being able to measure up, consoled themselves by insisting that he couldn't act and wouldn't last long in films. Obviously, Hunter had to work twice as hard as many another actor of his type to prove he was a good actor. I believe he succeeded although he never became a superstar. Did Hunter's good looks make him arrogant, overbearing, and hard to work with? Possibly not, when one recalls that Jean Peters, a co-star of his, once went out of her way to observe that his courtesy toward and consideration for her would be remarkable anywhere but especially in Hollywood.
