 C2THE HOLY LANDS BY RICHARD LINDE 



The Holy Lands are sacred to three great religions : Judaism, Christianity 

 _ and Islam. Here the Israelites lived; here Christ walked; here Mohammed 

 CC ascended into the seventh heaven. Today this region is divided, with Arab 

 ^ guns and Israeli barbed wire adding to the paradox of the lands called 

 ^ "holy." These are the hallowed places that live in the hearts and minds 



of men throughout the world . . . Bethlehem, Galilee, Nazareth, Jerusalem 



and Jericho. Richard Linde presents the Holy Lands as they are, a dramatic 



blend of the past and present. 



O INDIA BY FRAN WILLIAM HALL 



™ India is less than half as large as the U. S., yet she holds within her borders 

 >J nearly three times as many people, restless and extremely religious. She 

 fr encounters great odds in her race to modernize and create a living for her 

 (^ populace. Beset on the north by external dangers and internally by age- 

 ^ old problems, today India looks to both East and West for solutions to sur- 

 vival. See India, land of countless temples and colorful people, as filmed 

 by Fran Hall. 



NTHE BAHAMAS BY HARRY PEDERSON 



CM The lives of Bahamians are centered on the sea. Nassau waxes wealthy from 

 _1 visitors beckoned by sun and surf. People in Abaco build boats, mend nets. 

 Above the surface is a friendly society, gentle and genteel. Below is another 

 world. There, in the many-hued waters, a different climate prevails. 

 Neighbors eye each other hungrily. Survival depends on being quick as a 

 trigger fish, tough as a sea turtle, clever as a shark, elusive as an eel. Harry 

 Pederson has filmed the people along the shores as well as life in the waters 

 below.
