...leading outdoor activity in Israel is Biblical archaeology-digging up traces of heroes and villains who died thousands of years ago but who seem to enthusiasts almost as real as Israel's Premier David Ben-Gurion. Last week Soldier-Archaeologist Yigael Yadin, Israel's Chief of Operations in the Palestine war of 1948 and the general who chased the Egyptians out of the Negev by a strategic plan derived from the Old Testament, offered proof that the celebrated ruin at Megiddo was not built by King Solomon, as had been supposed. Instead it was built by the "wicked...
That night, sick of her senseless life and ready for anything, the wife takes a midnight stroll in her nightgown through moonlit meadows. She meets a young archaeologist (Jean-Marc Bory), a chance guest in the house. He kisses her. Suddenly, deliriously, they understand that "this is the real thing''-or so the narrator says. Les amoureux then go back to her room, and with the sound track blaring Brahms (a sextet, naturally) and the camera calmly watching almost everything that happens, they make passionate and explicitly French love 1) in her bed, 2) in the bathtub...
Over it all hovered Golden Door Keeper Edmund Bordeaux Szekely (pronounced Saykay), a bald, round-bellied Transylvanian who obviously shuns his own exercises. Entrepreneur Szekely is a sometime archaeologist, philosopher, biochemist and author (he claims 69 books). By his own admission, he speaks 14½ languages, the 50% lingo being English. His cosmetics, says he grandly, are drawn from history, e.g., General Potemkin's letters taught him the oils used by Catherine the Great (Siberian fir needles, hay, geranium and lilac), and Anne Marie's exercises are supposedly based on a calisthenics drill devised by Leonardo da Vinci...
Soon after left-wing British Author J. B. Priestley and his archaeologist wife Jacquetta arrived in Australia last month for a ban-the-bomb peace conference, they decided that they did not like being Down Under at all. About to leave Australia last week, J.B. was still smarting about the reception they had received: "We were cold-shouldered and treated as if we were lepers." Why? "Political cowardice." Details: "I don't like the political atmosphere of Australia. It doesn't smell right to me. I am not a Communist. My wife is not a Communist. We have...
...Okasha, appealed to the world's universities and foundations. Getting little response, Minister Okasha turned to UNESCO for assistance because the cost of preserving the treasures would be "exceptionally great." How great, the world discovered this week from the report of a UNESCO investigating mission, headed by U.S. Archaeologist Dr. John Otis Brew. Abu Simbel and Philae, says the UNESCO report, can be safeguarded by a system of dikes, levees and protective dams at a cost of $64 million. If any more of the 15 major temples and historic sites located in the area to be flooded are also...
