Couple Weaves Way to Mexican Interior To Recreate, Save Ancient Indian Arts
A Vancouver couple Bruce and Toni Henderson spent 18 months traveling across southern Mexico and Guatemala to learn and document ancient Indian weaving. They lived with tribes, endured danger and illness, and aimed to preserve designs threatened by modern tastes. They funded their trip by work in Vancouver and now wear the embroidered cloaks they studied, awaiting photo development before returning home.

Massachusetts Collector Owns Skull of Captain Kidd
Massachusetts collector Edward Rowe Snow claims ownership of Captain Kidd's skull, recounting Kidd as a privateer not a pirate. He notes Kidd was hanged in 1701 for Moore's murder, two failed gallows attempts, and a skull kept hidden at times before surfacing in Red Bank, New Jersey. Snow argues no curse attaches to the skull and that proof of identity is elusive.

Hunza Mir Says Isolated State Feels No Invasion Threat
In an exclusive interview in Karachi, the Mir of Hunza, a 40 000 strong semi autonomous belt on the West Pakistan frontier with China, says there is no crime and no jails. He notes Pakistan handles foreign policy, recalls 1963 border demarcation that shifted 750 square miles of grazing land to Hunza, and describes a secluded life with illiterate but contented people who trace their lineage to Alexander the Great. The ruler dismisses Chinese contact claims and notes access to Hunza is via a difficult 65 mile Gilgit route, with travel largely restricted.
