Gates and his side-kick Riley meet hot, smart blonde Abigail, steal the Declaration of Independence (it’s a treasure map, duh), elude nasty baddies, and get lots of treasure and fame. Jon Voight joins the fray as elder Gates, sans large Amazonian reptiles...

Its push bar can be positioned nearly 4 ft. off the ground, and the seat can be raised high to keep the child above the fray.

A soon-to-be-divorced mother of three small children, she needed the money, and Tiger didn't mind her working at home, 700 km from London. The relationship began to fray only after he started asking for sex. Not the real kind - their relationship remained entirely professional - but the fictional kind. He decided to try his - or rather, their - hand at fiction. "We are thinking about a beautiful novel," he told her. "It will have a beautiful cover...
