...poetically but with a naturalist's restraint about the climate, flora and fauna of the forbidding, fickle northwest corner of Alaska. As few writers have, he describes with nose-to-nose empathy its native Eskimos, an incredibly robust and good-natured people inhabiting one of earth's coldest hells...
...number of Europeans on the road, on the rails or in the air this summer has reached a record 75 million, triple the level of 15 years ago. Largely because much of Europe was beset by the wettest and coldest July in a decade -the worst in France in 90 years-the hordes have been moving south to the Mediterranean in greater numbers and later in the summer than ever before...

Nonresidents must travel the dirt road under British escort, because Vopos lurk just off the roadway in case anybody accidentally "invades" East German territory. Ten years ago, the Vopos so harassed and frightened a young Eiskeller boy whenever...
