Granger then dupes strait-laced Artist Pier (Teresa) Angeli into making the first copy. Sanders plays along with the scheme while wisely acting on the theory that Granger plans to sell the real painting himself. Ultimately, after each double-cross has been doubled and redoubled, Scoundrel Granger is regenerated by the love of a good woman-the kind of feat that angelic Actress Angeli may be forever destined by Hollywood to perform. Ironically, Scripter-Director Richard Brooks is the author of a current novel (The Producer) in which a moviemaker grapples with a front-office demand for an ending that...
...were "notoriously optimistic" in their claims, but they were actually in on the kill of five Nazi submarines. The last of these was the U-505, which became the first foreign man-of-war boarded and captured by U.S. sailors since the Peacock took H.M.S. Nautilus in the Sunda Strait in 1815. A boarding party from one of Gallery's destroyers leaped aboard just after the Germans abandoned the crippled ship, and just before enough water poured in to sink...
...Hunters. According to orthodox theories, the first Americans were the Folsom and the Sandia men, whose ancestors crossed the Bering Strait from Asia. They were highly developed hunters, making beautiful stone weapons to kill dangerous game, and their level of culture was not much below that of Europeans of the same period.

Between these backward people and those on the Folsom level were many cultural gradations...
...America were made along an established route . . . The purpose of these voyages was to gather wood . . . Since this wood was carried on the current out of Hudson Bay, it is very likely that the Norsemen would seek its origin. This would lead them westward from Greenland through Hudson Strait down the west coast of Labrador, with its thousands of sheltering islands, [into] James Bay . eventually coming to the Albany River. The route up this river is an old one. It has few portages over 25 chains, and the trail takes one ... to the head of Lake Winnipeg, not far from...
...Chubb Crater and the lake that now fills it will never be a handy tourist attraction like Arizona's meteorite crater near Canyon Diablo. It is close to Hudson Strait, on a granite plain so desolate that even arctic animals prefer to live somewhere else. Discovered by Prospector Fred W. Chubb (who noticed its telltale circular shape in an air photo), it was briefly explored by Geologist Meen in the summer of 1950 (TIME, Aug. 14, 1950) with inconclusive results. He decided that it had not been caused by a volcanic explosion or glacial action; but there...
