Its prey of preference are small animals and large birds, but it sometimes kills a bobcat or a coyote. In Asia it has long been trained to stoop at antelope, and in medieval Europe...

Reproductions of vintage aircraft soar blithely skyward bearing Terry-Thomas, Alberto Sordi and Gert Frobe to the high points of a flaphappy comedy about a London-Paris air race in 1910-while vixenish Sarah Miles waits in the winners' circle to choose between Stuart Whitman and James...
