MAURICE BRICHET OF RESTAURANT LE BELVEDERE-
     "The chalet-style Le Belvedere Restaurant is unique in Tahiti and Her Islands. Where else in Tahiti can people gather gratefully around a blazing fireplace in the cool July evenings, or take a pleasant dip in a swimming pool after exploring a tropical hiking trail that passes through tree ferns, mango trees and stands of wild raspberries? You will feel on top of the world in this rustic and cheerful setting, 600 meters (1,800 feet) above the sea, overlooking Point Venus and Moorea. Marlon Brando¹s atoll of Tetiaroa stands out clearly, white reefs in the surrounding ocean. Tetiaroa is some 42 kilometers (26 miles) to the north. The little island of Maiao is visible to the left of Moorea. On a clear evening at sunset, during the months of May and June, the viewer can sometimes distinguish the mountains of Huahine, an island 150 kilometers (93.2 miles) from Tahiti. A telescope on the terrace is provided for those who would like to take a closer look at their far surroundings."

TAHITI PAYS HOMMAGE TO BOBBY HOLCOMB-

    "Bobby Holcomb was a super star for the youth of Tahiti and Her Islands. A veritable Pied Piper, who charmed the children with his warm, rich voice, his delightful spontaneous laugh, his joie de vivre, his absolute pleasure in being alive and here! He was a painter, poet, writer, composer, musician, singer, dancer and sculptor. He was a linguist and an intellectual, with a lively inquiring mind. And he was also a teacher. Yet, with all his knowledge and creative talents, Bobby wisely chose to simplify life. He had the natural, innocent sense of wonder and magic of a child and his special qualities touched the child in each of us. When the news of Bobby¹s death was announced on Tahitian radio stations on the morning of February 16, 1991,the listening audience in five archipelagoes of French Polynesia felt a deep sense of shock and grief."

HINA KAPTAIN CELEBRATES 85TH BIRTHDAY-
