...Chestnuts. Clues to the existence of the ancient Asian farmers first came to light in 1965 when Chester Gorman, a Hawaii graduate student, poked into a cavern called Spirit Cave by the Thais: it had served as home for untold generations of farmers and was filled with relics of their handiwork. In a thorough excavation the expedition has since found crude Stone Age tools and a number of ancient seeds-peas, beans, cucumbers and Chinese water chestnuts -of a size and type that indicate that they were grown...
...Cave of the Future. The Modern's rival-and less effective-display, called "Spaces," features five rooms each by a different artist. One, by Dan Flavin, is full of relentlessly glowing fluorescent lights; another, by Larry Bell, is totally dark except for several dimly reflecting glass tubes. Robert Morris created a kind of arctic hothouse, where tiny spruces set in an earth bank simulate an upland for est. Most interesting is the space designed by Franz Erhard Walther, where anybody who comes along is invited to climb into, sit on or play with various canvas objects. This goes...

Loana Shell (Raquel) and Tumak Rock (John Richardson) meet and fall agonizingly in love. Agonizingly, because he already has a mate back in the Rock family cave. Besides, every time they get together, a Tyrannosaurus rex clamps onto the scene or the families start crushing one another's noggins with clubs. After an apocalyptic earthquake, Loana stalks off with her inamorato, presumably to become The Second Mrs. Tumak...
...European reporters lapped it up. Then Patrick shipped the publicity back to the U.S., where it was eagerly picked up by the American press. In 1966, Hammer Productions wished its friends a merry, merry Christmas by distributing 11-by-13 cards (3,000 of them) with Raquel's classic cave-suit pose on the front...
...Senate is a cave of winds redecorated as a 19th century gentlemen's club. No matter what wrenching changes the nation has undergone, the Senate retains its lacquered snuffboxes. Among the more insistent traditions has been the conservative leadership of the Republican Party. In the past 20 years, the post has been held by such stalwarts of the right as Nebraska's Kenneth Wherry, Ohio's Robert A. Taft and California's William F. Knowland...
