...some underwater training, Carpenter met two cars passing on a narrow road, and when he sheered aside to avoid them, bounced into a doral wall just the way the tourists do. Toll: a compound fracture of the left arm that may take surgery for a proper set, a fractured toe on his left foot, and a rapidly ballooning left knee, all of which will keep him well above the water line at least ten weeks...
UNITED ARAB REPUBLIC. Gold amulets and toe stalls found on mummies fill the small museum, but the most beautiful Egyptian treasure is a tiny (15.6 in.) gold coffin inlaid with lapis lazuli and carnelian that once contained the entrails of King Tutankhamen.

But it was not just for kicks. Heiress Barbara Mutton, 51, a Protestant, was marrying Laotian Painter-Chemist Prince Raymond Doan Vinh Na Champassak, 48, a Buddhist, and they were doing it his way. Babs had never tried a Buddhist ceremony, and so this time around it was a sari affair at her $1,500,000 estate near Cuernavaca, Mexico. There were seven tiers...
