Villefranche-sur-Mer, where the Never Say Never crew was filming an action scene for their thriller about nuclear terrorism. Location work in the movies is always a combination of summer camp and boot camp, but Connery seemed to be enjoying it. He deflected all suggestions of a rivalry between the two pictures, or between himself and Moore, whom he has known for more than 20 years. If there is a difference, Connery says, it is in their approach to character: "I start with the serious and then try to inject as much humor...
...most obvious match-up was Freelance Photographer Baron Wolman, who shot the opening photo of the Coast Guard light station at Point Sur in California. Last year Wolman, who has his own Cessna, published California from the Air: The Golden Coast. He knew Point Sur well and says, "I fell in love with it again." Photographer Steve Liss had a less aesthetic vista at Bucks Harbor, Me.: a surplus airbase. After checking every conceivable camera angle on the ground, he concluded reluctantly that he, like Wolman, would have to fly. "I'm petrified of planes," says Liss, "especially small...
...Point Sur Light Station. Perched on a gumdrop-shaped rock on the spectacularly scenic northern California coast, this is one of the most exciting pieces being offered. Often shrouded by fog, and surrounded on three sides by surging seas, the gray stone lighthouse looms like a medieval keep above the 33-acre site.

The State of California would like to lease the site for use as a park or youth hostel, but does not want...
...imaginary, but the idea is real. Or at least Robert L. Kingsbury thinks so. As director of the department of military and veterans affairs Robert in Los Angeles, he has espoused a novel civil defense plan: selecting "priority evacuees" now according to "their value to the society that would sur vive a nuclear strike." Kingsbury's high-priority evacuees would include "the young and physically fit, skilled specialists of all sciences, and a well-balanced labor force." In case of an attack, the healthy and talented would hit the road, while the aging and slow-witted would presumably stay...
...from the blackout, Engle gave his machine the test pilot's ultimate accolade: "The bird is real solid. A good solid bird all the way." From Mission Control came a relieved reply: "Well, we love hearin' it." As Engle's bird approached California's Big Sur country, it was flying faster than a bullet-at ten times the speed of sound-and dropping like a rock, 20 times faster than a similar-size DC-9 jet on landing. Finally, it came out of the blue, a tiny, glistening white speck that wrote a special signature...
