From the first moment you see Indiana Jones walking through the Peruvian jungle with his leather jacket and snap-brim hat, zapping nasties with his bullwhip.

He was grinning at their friends, who were applauding as she and he descended the steps to Moon River, played by the dance - band...
...satirically pious story tells how a soldier's breast-pocket Bible stopped the bullet en route to his heart. Ronald Reagan had no Bible in his jacket outside the Washington Hilton several weeks ago, but some of the world idly suspected that he may have been otherwise armored-that in some obscure way he may have been protected by his own remarkable luck...
