Nor did it end with the end of the lovers' lives. The Browning story has gone on, as Elizabeth prophesied, "through love's eternity"-though it is not exactly the kind of eternity Elizabeth may have had in mind.

Then the Nationalist warships hovered by the crippled freighter...
...talking about. But an even bigger challenge confronted him. In rugged, unexplored northeastern Tierra del Fuego lived the fierce Ona tribe. Naked under their calf-length, guanaco-skin capes, the nomadic Ona stood as high as six feet in their fur moccasins, hunted their game (mostly guanaco) with bow & arrow, and spoke a language that sounded like "a man clearing his throat...
