...there, 007 in less than 24 hours finds himself 1) abducted by a Chigro (Chinese Negro) chauffeur, 2) attacked by a furry Caribbean tarantula, 3) rammed by a hit-and-run Cadillac hearse, 4) waylaid by a sinister Chinese cutie, 5) smershed by the six-gun of a sneaky geologist. 007 senses that somebody is out to get him. Could it be the mysterious Doctor No, the mad scientist who lives in a mountain of bird droppings on Crab Key? 007 paddles over to have a look around. On the beach he meets Ursula Andress, a skindiver who seems...
...supplying equipment at cut-rate prices: lightweight oxygen tanks, walkie-talkies, 13 tons of freeze-dried food, vitamins, Metrecal wafers. Then Dyhrenfurth picked his team: 20 men, each an experienced part-time mountain climber, each a specialist in his full-time field-a physicist, a psychologist, a philosopher, a geologist, a geographer, physicians, a sociologist. The expedition was more than a sporting assault: on Everest, Dr. William Siri planned to measure the effects of solar radiation, study the effects of high altitudes on the human mind and body. Even the team's diarist was something of a specialist: Novelist...

Last year 65,000, including kids at 50? per head, slopped through the muddy gullies. Many of them, says State Geologist Norman F. Williams, "are little old ladies who might be in their flower beds. They come dressed to kill and end up taking off their shoes, hiking up their skirts and wading in the mud." Women get the most excitement. Some of them shriek or faint when they find a tiny...
...seems to be to curl up with a good book. Perusing the Greek classics and pinpointing their references. Italian Entrepreneur Jean-Baptiste Serpieri in 1864 rediscovered the ancient mines of Laurium near Athens, from which the classical Athenians extracted their wealth and the lead needed to build their fleet. Geologist Charles Godfrey Gunther located copper on Cyprus by reading Latin manuscripts. The latest to cash in on the classics is a short, stocky Greek named Alexander Xenarios, who spent 30 years roaming Greece and making minor finds before he hit the jackpot: a deposit in northern Greece's Chalcidice...
