               EXT. BEACH - PACIFIC ISLAND - MED. SHOT - DAY



Backgrounded by palm trees and rolling surf, an American

army radar operator sits at his huge instrument, intently

tracking a target. Without interrupting this, he speaks with

tense excitement into a telephone transmitter strapped to

his chest. (It is 8:00 a.m.)
(In this and the subsequent scenes, music and cutting build

to an exciting crescendo).
