NATION, Page 19GRAPEVINE
VIDEO VS. VIREO. Other moviemakers have eyed the dense swamp
and towering willows along the Santa Ana River in California's
Riverside County, but have been denied filming rights because it
is one of the last preserves of the endangered least Bell's vireo,
a tiny songbird now down to about 300 pairs worldwide. But when
producers decided the site was right for scenes in a forthcoming
CBS-TV movie about ex-Lieut. Colonel Oliver North, local officials
said O.K. A film crew is set to invade the fragile nesting area
this week, with a warning from Dick Zembal, biologist of the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service. Says he: "If they damage it, they will
hear from us." The implicit question: Is Ollie for the birds?
BAH TO BUSINESS. After being Secretary of State, George Shultz
apparently views a return to the business world, where he was last
with California's Bechtel Group, as a bit of a bore. Washington
rumors suggest he may become head of the World Bank.
CHEAPER CHIC. Remember Nancy Reagan's $22,000 Galanos gowns,
some of them borrowed? For the Bush crowd, the hot designer is
Victor Costa, a Texan whose creations are a smash, though they do
not sell for more than $800. The Bushes' daughter and
daughters-in-law and Marilyn Quayle have bought his offerings for
the Inaugural gala. Barbara Bush will be wearing an Arnold Scaasi
design, though the color and cut remain a secret.
