...latest expedition consisted of 15 climbers: seven Austrians, two Germans, one Tyrol Italian, one Swiss, one Iranian and three Britons. Last March this oddly mixed international team of mountaineers set out to scale the 29,028-ft. summit over the unconquered southwest face. After more than two months of quarrelsome efforts, they descended into a maelstrom of pique...
Winged Creature. He was not a Christian invention. One of his most persistent forms in the popular imagination?the horned, winged creature with claws?dates at least as far back as ancient Mesopotamia, where it was the image of Pazuzu, the malaria-bearing demon of the southwest wind, the "king of the evil spirits of the air." In the Old Testament the Devil was satan, the Hebrew word for adversary, as in the Book of Job. Throughout the Old Testament, he remains clearly subject to the wrath and will of Yahweh.

There have been changes in the face of the city itself. Going back to my neighborhood in the southwest corner of Moscow, I discovered that a storefront window left broken for more than a year had finally been replaced.

The rest of the cast fit snugly into their roles, too, with the exception of Anne Archer, who looks more like a Coppertone suntan...
...Legend of Nigger Charley is not much of an improvement. The plot comes more or less out of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, minus three. Charley is a freed slave who rides through the Southwest righting wrongs with the help of three companions. At one point, shortly after dispatching a gang of drunken louts in a saloon set-to, they help a white homesteader fight off the attacks of a band of marauding outlaws. Charley develops a yen for the homesteader's half-breed wife, portrayed by a comely young actress named Tricia O'Neill, who represents...
