...Hope. Perhaps the show's most comic sequences are the ones that started out to be serious-a parade of insect mutants from post-A-bomb sci-fi epics, Elizabeth Taylor served up like a high-priced entree in Cleopatra, a series of youthquake teen films (Teen Age Cave Man is a typical example) to lure the young back into the moviehouses...
Zelve, Cappadocia, Turkey, July 23--I'm dangling my feet out of a window about a hundred feet above the ground. It opens into an enormous hole that might properly be called a cave, except that it is man-made--hewn out of the cliff-side by some eighth century hermits. My window probably served the original owners as a door: notches have been cut in the rock face leading up to it. But I came in the back way, and wandered through dark and clammy passageways that occasionally opened into dark and clammy rooms, until I saw a patch...
...such implications for the future of America as now. Last month more than 70 TIME correspondents, writers, reporter-researchers and editors set out to assess the South as it is today, to evaluate its present state-and its stimulating future. Working under the direction of Assistant Managing Editor Ray Cave, Washington News Editor Edward Jackson (a native of Mount Airy, N.C.) and James Bell, chief of the Atlanta bureau, they examined Southern politics, culture, business and society...
...Choked Fistulas. The Flint Ridge/Mammoth connection, which would establish the system as the longest known cave in the world, required techniques more organized and rigorous than Collins' lone adventuring. By the 1950s, when Brucker and Watson began caving, it was necessary to survey, with chain and compass, every foot of the miles of new cave then being discovered. Some of the finds were spacious passages and great, vaulted limestone halls, but far more often the explorers tried to keep their nerve intact and their carbide lamps lit while jammed into mud-choked fistulas less than a foot high...
...wiry woman named Pat Crowther. Large, lordly people are handicapped as cavers, of course, and flyweight readers will follow Crowther's muddy tracks with tears of appreciation in their eyes. When she and her skinny companions popped like corks through the Tight Spot and moved on into Mammoth Cave, the provable length of the great limestone entrails became 144.4 miles. The authors, still not satisfied, think that in all some 300 miles of passages exist. !ROISLECXE John Skow
