...stay with Bond for news in the battle of the sexes, though he tends to lag a bit farther behind the times on this score. His partner in Eyes is (natch) a great beauty, but also (surprise) an archaeologist. Though Melinda (Carol Bouquet) has the annoying habit of never moving her lips when she speaks, she does contribute handsomely to the doings in of the evilsowers. And I even detected--though this may be a mistaken impression--a certain cooling of Bond's ardour for romantic digression. This may be a concession to Moore's advancing years, though...

...professor who, when not off on foreign adventures, could be found in a nightclub with a slinky, '30s-style blond on each arm.

Now after nearly ten years' digging in the Gaza Strip, Archaeologist Trude Dothan, 57, of Jerusalem's Hebrew University, has found indications that the Israelites went into the desert to elude not the Philistines but the very people from whom they were escaping-Egyptians. The evidence: the remains of a large Egyptian community just south of Gaza that flourished during...
Dothan suspected that the antiquities came from the Gaza Strip, which Israel had also occupied during the war. She took her hunch to then Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, an avid amateur archaeologist and collector. Three months later he not only told her where the Egyptian materials came from-how he found out he never revealed-but also provided a military escort to the site near the Arab town of Deir el Balah, about 18 miles southwest of Gaza...
