...book Lost Tribes and Sunken Continents: Myth and Method in the Study of American Indians, Robert Wauchope presents an interesting historical perspective on the sort of conjectures Barry Fell champions. Wauchope discusses theory after discredited theory, each one arguing that American Indians were originally either Phoenicians, Assyrians, Egyptians, early Irish, Basques, Portuguese, Carthaginians, Hebrews, Trojans, Huns, or any of a dozen other early peoples. And Wauchope shows that many of Fell's predecessors also used the same sort of evidence that Fell relies on--similarities in artistic motifs and linguistic parallels--to justify their views...

Summa organized the construction of the Glomar Explorer, under the guise of an oceanic mining and exploration ship. Its real mission remains the subject of suspicion. Despite Government denials, there is speculation that the ship may have been performing different duties-like implanting a weapons systern on the ocean floor. Last week the Government sought to dispel those suspicions by allowing newsmen to visit the huge barge that accompanied the Glomar Explorer on the mission. The craft...
...drinking with some male companions at a popular watering hole, Longet returned to Sabich's house. Soon afterward, she phoned the Aspen Valley Hospital to report that there had been a shooting. Sheriffs officers, police and ambulance attendants found Sabich lying in the master bathroom, next to a sunken tub, mortally wounded by a single .22-cal. bullet in the abdomen. As Aspen Valley's Dr. Charles Williams related it, Longet "told police officers that he [Sabich] was showing me how to hold the gun and it went...
