...Lima, Savoy's find created the greatest stir among archaeologists since the discovery of Machu Picchu. "Although we have yet to explore the ruins carefully," said Dr. Luis E. Valcarcel, director of the National Museum of History, "I am almost certain this is Vilcabamba."

Flying out from Lima for a demonstration ride over the Andes, Belaunde was soon in the cockpit and edging into the copilot's seat to see for himself how the big jet handled...
...many a sun-worshiping Southern Californian, the thick, eye-irritating blanket that often covers Los Angeles and has already pushed past the mountains into the San Fernando Valley is almost a way of life. The acrid murk is concocted in the area's own natural pressure cooker. A pair of the state's most abundant resources, sunshine and automobiles, cooperate...
