Bronze-Age Bar. The palace was well looted when it was burned, but smaller structures built on its ruins were destroyed without looting. Most interesting was a row of little shops. One was a Bronze Age pub with sunken vats for the wine supply and a lavish supply of glasses for serving the customers. It also had knucklebones, a gambling game that did the duty of a modern bar's chuck-a-luck...
...last fortnight, the Philippines had reduced its claim by 90%. It asked only $20 million in cash, $30 million for "services," including ridding Manila Bay of its sunken hulks, the rest in capital goods, and investment loans. Still the Japanese balked.

Season the movie with submarine photography, a few sharks, two treasurehunting skin-divers and one sunken Spanish galleon. The result is likely to be a lot of bullion. By the time Skin-Divers Richard Egan and Gilbert Roland surface with the gold ingots, Jane has displayed her more notable talents in high-cut shorts, low-cut dresses, pajamas, a nightgown, one-piece and two-piece swim suits. Her clothes designer can hardly be held responsible for the shape...
