Countless Caves. Spiraling out from the abandoned Cortina, the searchers poked through canyons and wadis leading down toward the Dead Sea. They found a piece of the map Pike had been carrying, but no sign of Pike himself. Eventually, a total of 100 Israeli border policemen, a helicopter and a Piper Cub joined in the search. Assuming that Pike would have sought refuge from the sun, the searchers peered into countless caves along the canyon walls. Philadelphia Seer Arthur Ford, the medium through whom Pike once claimed he had contacted his dead son, called Diane Pike in Jerusalem to tell...

The drama--to that point a series of flirtations in the village below--immediately tightens on the characters as they begin hiking to the lodge...
Happy on Anything. But Kurlander is trying again, this time with a flexible, polyethylene plastic called Sno-Mat. It was developed by two Italians three years ago and has been tested successfully at European resorts, including Cortina d'Ampezzo and Tarvisio. Sno-Mat's secret is that it comes in small, interlocking units, each of which looks like a giant pince-nez; they thus hug the contour of the land while presenting no joints to catch the sharp ski edges or the skier's thumb and fingers, should he fall. In addition, the units are covered with thick, round-ended...
