...shadowless reaches of the Spanish Sahara, some 40 miles from the Atlantic Coast, the dusty oasis of Bu-Craa swelters in the middle of a moonscape of endless dunes and burned-out scrub. It is an ancient cross roads for camel caravans and fierce des ert nomads in their swirling burnooses. For years, Spanish Foreign Legionnaires in their whitewashed forts knew Bu-Craa as a lonely corner of the end of the world...
Using carbon-14 dating techniques, the team concluded that the early Americans may have used primitive tools -- more primitive than any others discovered in the New World -- and hunted ice age mammoths and mastodons, as well as early forms of the camel and horse...

...Camel-Powered. At present, however, Hassan's nation is in trouble. Two successive droughts have brought Morocco, whose economy is still based largely on camel-powered subsistence farming, dangerously close to famine-despite emergency U.S. Food for Peace shipments that last year totaled $33.6 million. An ambitious three-year development plan collapsed when the French cut off $100 million a year in aid, a move caused by Parisian petulance over the kidnaping of exiled Moroccan Leftist Mehdi ben Barka. And the Moroccans fear an invasion from leftist Algeria, with which they have been fighting a minor border war since...
...Nice. En route they run a grim gauntlet of all-too-familiar thriller scenes (bang-bang on the Blue Train, hugger-mugger on the bad guy's yacht, hack-the-stripper in a nudie nightspot) and unpleasantly overripe chestnuts ("How'll we get there-take the midnight camel?").
