"If anyone had ever told me I'd be excited about finding some rusty iron in the ground, I'd have told them they were crazy," he says. Yet he was at the Blockade Runners last week to show off his weekend treasures -some shell fragments, a pistol ball and a ramrod...

It also had a vital role in Hanoi's war effort, fabricating "instant" bridges, cargo barges and oil drums...
...informers among his guests. Because he feared the telltale stench of turpentine, he gave up oils and instead painted some 1,300 watercolors on small (5-in. to 10-in.) pieces of Japanese rice paper that could easily be hidden. His wife Ada would press them flat with her iron before he hid them away in his huge "treasure chest." He called them "unpainted pictures" because he hoped some day to use them as bases for oil paintings...
