Subject: Archeologists and the Ark of the Covenant
A student of mine claims to have seen a news clip on CNN (the Cable News
Network run by Turner Broadcasting) concerning a current archeological
dig in Israel.
Supposedly there was an exciting find of a bottle of perfume made from
a now-extinct plant, and as he understood it, the archeologists felt they
were "close to finding the Ark..."
Since my understanding had been that serious archeologists had stopped
looking for the Ark after the disastrous events at the beginning of this
century, I would be interested in any solid information on these develoments.
Thank you!

My colleague, Larry Holmes, will spend next year in the USSR as an
IREX scholar. Does anyone know if he will be able to stay in touch
with our department through BITNET? Is there a BITNET node or means
of access in the USSR which does not require elaborate clearances
to use? Would it have to be arranged in advance of his trip?
Thanks. James McSwain f0a8@usouthal
