 observes mother turtles laying clutches

Although the media give more air 

 time to whales than to turtles, a re- 

 markable amount of effort has gone into 

 understanding sea-turtle behavior, and 

 even more into protecting them from 

 acute threats to their survival. Their 

 main enemies these days are poachers 

 who steal their eggs; shoreline devel- 

 opment, which disturbs their nesting 

 grounds; and industrial fishing, which 

 snags them in nets and on fishing lines. 



A sense of wonder suffuses Safina's 

 luminous prose. It is impossible not 

 to marvel along with him at the great 

 turtles' seagoing prowess. Turtles can 

 dive deeper than whales — the deepest 

 known leatherback dive is 3,900 feet — 

 and can stay under water for more than 

 an hour on a single gulp of air. Logger-

Finally, luxury built for value — not for false status 



Only a few of us are born with 

 silver spoons in our mouths. 

 And until Stauer came along, you 

 needed an inheritance to buy a time- 

 piece with class and refinement. That 

 has suddenly changed. The Stauer 

 Magnificat brings the impeccable 

 quality and engineering once found 

 only in the collections of the idle 

 rich. If you have earned your living 

 through intelligence, hard work, and 

 perseverance, you will now be 

 rewarded with a timepiece with 

 understated class that will always be a 

 symbol of refined taste. The striking 

 case, fused in 18k gold, compliments 

 an etched ivory-colored dial exquis- 

 itely. By using advanced computer 

 design and robotics, we have been 

 able to drastically reduce the price on 

 this precision movement. 



It took three years of development 

 and $26 million in advanced Swiss- 

 built machinery to create the 

 Magnificat. Look at the interior dials 

 and azure-colored hands. Turn the 

 watch over and examine the 

 27-jeweled automatic movement 

 through the transparent back. 



Admire the detailed guilloche face, 

 gilt winding crown, and the 

 crocodile-embossed leather band. 

 And marvel at the Magnificat's three 

 interior dials for day, date, and 

 24-hour moon phases. We estimate 

 this fine timepiece would cost over 

 $2,500. But, Stauer is offering this 

 truly magnificent watch at a truly 

 magnificent price — less than $179! 

 Try the Magnificat for 30 days, and if 

 you are not receiving compliments, 

 please return the watch for a full 

 refund of the purchase price. The 

 precision-built movement carries a 

 2 year warranty against defect. The 

 Magnificat is not available in stores.
