...Times backed Commander Robert E. Peary in the 1908 North Pole race with $4,000 and got more for its money than the Herald, which put $25,000 behind Dr. Frederick Cook. In 1922 the Times bought U.S. rights to stories from an archaeological expedition seeking King Tut's tomb, a venture in which the London Times staked $100,000. Meyer Berger, in his Story of the New York Times, wrote that scarcely a season went by between 1923 and 1949 that the paper did not offer "some first-hand account of man's thrilling...
Though prostitution, sadomasochism and fetishism are gently tut-tutted as "limiting," the humanists state that if they are to be discouraged, it should be through education, not laws. Children's genital explorations are considered "learning experiences" that help to integrate a healthy sexuality into the personality.

Such measures were compelled by the probable value of King Tut's treasure: his gold funeral mask alone, some English experts speculate, is worth over $50 million...
...English, normally phlegmatic about art, greeted the event with ecstasies of Tutankhamenophilia. Tut appeared on posters, postcards, carrier bags and 56 million commemorative stamps; the B.M.'s supply of replicas of Tutankhamen's jewelry was sold out on the first day. Bottlenecks in the museum caused three-block queues outside it. The museum hopes that when the exhibit closes six months hence, 1.5 million people will have seen it. That would net about $1.3 million, most of it earmarked for a UNESCO fund to restore the temples on the island of Philae in Egypt, now submerged...
