"RAM" IN THE LIME-LIGHT, WITH THE INEVITABLE GOATEE. THE
ONLY WAY HE COULD TRIM IT WAS WITH A BLAST OF DYNAMITE
OUR OWN NILE DONKEY, "BALLY-HOO-BEY." KNEW HIS BUSINESS
LIKE A BOOK, BUT OBJECTED TO THE TOD SLOAN RIDE (SPOKEN
OF IN THE TEXT)--A WILD WEST EFFORT IN THE FAR EAST.
ALI BABA, JR., IN THE SADDLE
TEMPLE OF LUXOR ON THE NILE. "RAM" IS VERY MUCH IN
EVIDENCE, BUT ONLY A SMALL PART OF HIS SCULPTURAL
OUTPUT IS SEEN, AS THE STONE-CUTTERS' LIENS HAVE NOT
YET BEEN SATISFIED
ANOTHER PART OF KARNAK; ONLY ONE MAN ON THE JOB, BUT HE IS
QUITE EQUAL TO ALL ITS REQUIREMENTS AND EMERGENCIES
PILLARS OF THOTHMES III, KARNAK, EGYPT, WITH TWO YOUNG MEN
ON THE LOOKOUT FOR BUSINESS. THEY ARE BOTH WORTHY OF
EVERY ENCOURAGEMENT
OBELISK OF THOTHMES I AND QUEEN HAPSHEPSET XVIII DYNASTY.
TWO FINE OBELISKS IN THE TEMPLE OF KARNAK--A LITTLE
TOPSY-TURVY LOOKING AND VERY MUCH IN NEED OF REPAIRS
THIS IS WHERE "RAM" FELL DOWN AND HAS NEVER SINCE BEEN
"LIFTED." IT TAKES _PIASTRES_ TO PUT SUCH A BIG MAN
ON HIS FEET. STONY MACADAM, PRESIDENT OF THE BAKSHISH
TRUST & TIPPING COMPANY, WITH HIS CASHIER AND ENTIRE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN ATTENDANCE. IT'S A TOUGH PROBLEM
"STONY" CAN'T SOLVE IF THERE'S MONEY BEHIND IT
THE ARCH OF CONSTANTINE, ROME--ONE OF THE FINEST EXTANT.
THE EMPEROR THOUGHT IT ALL OUT AND PLANNED IT TO
ASTONISH POSTERITY, AND INCIDENTALLY TO RECORD HIS OWN
GREATNESS
THE FORUM, ROME'S GREATEST HISTORICAL CLUB, WHERE EVERY
MAN HAD A HEARING IF HE HAD ANYTHING TO SAY. SOME GREAT
THINGS WERE SAID THERE AND THOUGHTS COINED WHICH ARE
PASSING CURRENT AS OUR OWN TO-DAY
THE BATHS OF CARACALLA, ROME, WHERE THE ROMANS HAD THE
BEST TIMES OF THEIR LIVES AND WERE ALWAYS IN THE PICTURE
WHILE IT LASTED
