semples & Turboprops. "A magnificent landscape; but one looks at it with a sinking of the heart; there is something profoundly horrifying in this immense, indefinite not-thereness of the Mexican scene," Aldous Huxley wrote in the days when tourists traveled on bumpy roads across the sere, dusty landscape. The jet age has gone far to remove the boredom that made one Texas lady remark: "It's what's between the high spots that depresses me so."

It involved Westin in hundreds of interviews, thousands of hours of research through newspapers, court records and books, ranging from Robert Ardrey's The Territorial Imperative to Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Just as thoroughly, Westin has compiled a catalogue of electronic bugging devices, wiretaps and mechanical spies that will surprise even those who think they are up on the subject. Items currently available: TV cameras small enough to fit in a vest pocket with...
