...Gates of the Arctic is the crown jewel of Alaska's proposed parklands, a haunting, austere land of towering peaks and unspoiled wilderness. White, curly-horned Ball sheep, caribou, wolves and other game are found in the park. Nunamiut Eskimos and Athabaskan Indians venture into its vastness to hunt these animals for food...
...limited, tends to confirm Metheny's findings. During the 1960 Olympics in Rome, J.M. Tanner, a British doctor, conducted X-ray and photographic studies of athletes.

Nelson Bunker Hunt views the action against him as a political maneuver. Snorts Hunt: "Dozens of families trade like this. If your name is Hunt...
...Edmund's autobiography scarcely seemed an ironclad source, so Trevor-Roper conducted his hunt elsewhere: in dusty Foreign Office records, in letters now reposing in Toronto, in files of U.S. and British companies. The exposé searched for an aberrant scholar and turned up a consummate rogue. Trapped by bad debts, Backhouse had dropped out of Oxford. In 1898 he showed up in China with faked references; 15 years later he shipped the Bodleian some 17,000 volumes of chinoiserie; later he contributed 18 manuscripts that were blatant forgeries and promised other treasures that did not exist.
