Everglades
A favorite site of many tourists is the Everglades. The Everglades are wetlands in southern Florida. The naturalist Marjory Stoneman Douglas saved the Everglades from destruction several decades ago. Still, the Everglades continued to be drained, and much of the habitat of alligators and wading birds disappeared. Now a congressional agreement gives the Everglades millions of dollars for preservation. Every tourist should honor John Muir for his life and work. Muir was a lifelong tourist himself. His parents brought Muir and his sisters from Scotland to Wisconsin as children. Muir later traveled the country and was responsible for saving Yosemite as a national park. The conservation who founded the Sierra Club was John Muir.

The diamond detectives were Carla and I. According to legend the huge blue diamond has had many owners, and they all came to a bad end. Jean Baptiste Tavernier brought the original blue diamond from India; the first owner to die was him. He is said to have been killed in India by wild dogs. Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI inherited the diamond; we know that the next victims were them. Carla and I learned that a Dutch diamond cutter may have recut the stone to disguise it. His son and him died tragically soon afterward. In the 1830s Henry Hope bought the recut gem; the person for whom the diamond was named was he. We discovered that the Hope diamond is now in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. “Hope diamond experts” are we!

King Tutankhamen was only about nine years old when the priests crowned him as the new pharaoh. He and his wife were not in power long before the young pharaoh died. I saw a video showing x-ray pictures of Tut’s skull. They revealed that someone had struck Tut on the back of the head. It occurred to me that only someone the king knew could get so close to him. There are several possible suspects, but two of them had the best opportunity-the queen and the royal minister, Ay. She and Ay married when Ay became pharaoh. A ring discovered in 1931, however, shows that Ay married another queen after her. Just between you and me, I believe that Ay is the most likely killer. All the suspects may be long dead, but the evidence has outlived them.
Where was Tut struck at?
