This western Mecca of gambling and glamor is an irresistible magnet to atomic engineers and scientists working nearby. It has become, there fore, a hot-bed of foreign spies and agents! ** "'K' is for Killer" by George Hill. The Navy is playing a deadly game of hide-and-seek off Key West that may, in the near future, save the nation's life. **"We Climbed the Devil Mountain" by Michael Jordon. The Grepon has been climbed several times. We were the first though, to be attacked by a raging blizzard on its grim walls. "The Split Decision is Ruining Boxing" by Tom Dowling Jr., There comes a time in every professional boxer's life when he wonders if he should have taken up dancing. That's when no one knows who has won a fight. Least of all, the judges! Split decision in the Joe Giardello-Billy Graham battle was later reversed. Then to add to the confusion, the reversal was reversed! "I Hunt Cottonmouths" by Jesse Gulipher as told to Paul Lacour. This is a sport that takes icicle nerves, lightning reflexed and a fatalistic attitude toward death. A man & his dog caught cottonmouth snakes and whip them to death. **"Join the Marines and Live to be 100!"Year for year, a man who joins the Leathernecks will outlive any man in civilian life. ** "I Battled Man Eating Dragons" by Donald R. Buchanan as told to C.V.Tench. I found out the hard way that dragons still exist. When my first mate decided to kill me, he put ashore on an island in the East Indies. What followed was a nightmare fight with monstrous, thick-scaled, razor-toothed lizards that run fast as deer and can break a rifle stock with their jaws. ** "The World's Strongest Drinks" by Roland Blackburn, ** "Chopper Pull Me Up!" by Bill Kreh. The game was sort of a tug-of-war. Twenty North Koreans were on one side and an American helicopter on the other. And there was a prize, Lieutenant carter, right in the middle. ** "When in Rome" by J.S. Wilson. Hard boiled, sexy, concrete-tough yarns make up most of today's fiction. It's a pleasure to present a masterfully light story by an author who may become a second sabatini." **"America's Bloodiest Fighting" by Bob Hathaway. It's easy to judge these contests. The first one that dies, loses . Of course, the winner a cockfighter may lose both eyes and get his head cut half way off. *** Book Order # ADV006; Condition= VG+ = (4.5) VERY GOOD PLUS; (Average Used Condition) Paper pull on front cover; 1.5 inch tear at right side on front cover repaired with magic tape Price=US$22.00); Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
