内容摘要：Research has shown that individual belugas have a distinct call that they use in communication, much like a name, Vergara said. And it takes a couple years for young whales to learn their parents’ name and their own. But whales that are related or hang out together have calls or names that are similar, sort of like a last name, she said.

We begin in 1957 in Manhattan. Costello, after a night partying respectably with high society, stops at his swank apartment building. “This one’s for you,” declares the nervous man who shoots him in the head in his lobby.The shooter (Cosmo Jarvis), sent by Genovese, makes a bad mistake, as his boss will remind him later: “You gotta go SEE if they’re dead!” Amazingly, Costello survives. “I shoulda been paying more attention,” says the genteel mobster who favors diplomacy over bloodletting, narrating from the future.

We then go back in time to figure out how things got this bad.With the help of vintage photos and footage artfully edited to include actors playing the younger Frank and Vito, we learn the two were good friends as young Italian immigrants on the streets. But when Vito got mixed up in a murder case, he had to flee to Italy — leaving cooler-headed Frank in charge of the business.Years later, Vito returns, and wants his role at the top of the mob family. And so things go south, quickly.

The women in their lives mirror the differences between the two men. Costello’s wife of more than 50 years, Bobbie (Debra Messing, making a nice foray into drama), is a loyal partner who urges her husband to retire and leave New York — along with their adorable dogs (De Niro’s own pooches, dressed in mink coats and hats — a costume design Oscar for this canine fashion, please!). Genovese’s wife Anna (Kathrine Narducci, excellent) is a businesswoman — she owns a gay bar — whose fiery union with Vito turns disastrous.A mere glance at Wikipedia will tell you that both Genovese and Costello ultimately died in nonviolent ways. There’s plenty in “The Alto Knights” that you won’t see there — for example, the movie’s version of just who engineered that farmland mob summit, and why.

But watching dozens of mobsters run like heck when police happen upon their gathering is a hoot, and it’s hard to beat the moment when two of them insist to suspicious cops: “We’re hunters!”

If only such witty moments were more frequent in a two-hour movie that somehow, alas, feels much longer.Sea ice in the Arctic has shrunk by about

— falling in large steps and plateaus — since 1979, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. While Arctic sea ice hiton record for late August, in Western Hudson Bay unusual winds have meant longer lasting ice than usual, but it’s a temporary and very localized respite.
