...person travelogues from Tahiti, Siberia and the Yukon, kite construction (they were Bell's kites), the sex life of the aborigines, and skin tattoos. In 1905 he came up to a deadline with an eleven-page hole, filled all eleven pages with pictures of Tibet-the first extensive use of photographs by any magazine.

Sabbath restrictions begin on Friday night, just before sundown, and on occasional Fridays only a lucky break in the traffic has saved him from having to abandon his 1952 De Soto and walk the rest of the way home. On Saturdays Abe was not on duty, but sometimes, to follow...
