A writer observes an elderly American investor on a Luxor buying spree, chasing cheap fakes in antique shops. Locals reveal how forgers craft tomb treasures, exploiting vanity and urgency as genuine pieces become rarer due to strict Egypt laws. The piece ends with a portrait of a workshop in Ushyan, where craftsmen mass produce fake heads for export.

Protecting Legitimate Sport in New South Wales Racing
The Caring and Betting Amendment law aims to curb off course betting that reduces racecourse attendances and government revenue. It notes £40,000,000 yearly turnover with £19,000,000 through official channels, over £20,000,000 illegal. The aim is to keep betting with licensed bookmakers at the racecourse while limiting away from-course wagers.
