...chained and bound with ropes. Connected to a three-minute timer, a door fitted with 8-in, steel knives will swing shut on Bigelow if he does not escape in time. He usually does, Bigelow also performs an escape sealed inside a heavy plastic bag with a poison snake...
Joseph Conrad described the Congo River as "an immense snake uncoiled, with its head in the sea . . . its tail lost in the depths of the land." Peter Forbath shares Conrad's feeling for this mighty, mysterious river, which rises in southeastern Central Africa, more than 1,000 miles south of the equator and about a mile above sea level, and ends 3,000 miles later in the Atlantic Ocean.

One golden rhyton is decorated with reliefs of Hera, Artemis and Apollo around the rim and a billy goat at the base--the wine gushes from a spout in the goat...
