Bolivia's Mountain of Silver - Potosi

Why 'the mountain that eats men' is on the verge of collapse in Bolivia

Miners in Bolivia spend hours searching for silver, tin, and zinc inside Cerro Rico, a 15,000-foot mountain that used to be the world's largest source of silver. But little has changed for miners since colonial times, with thousands putting their lives at risk inside mines that could collapse at any moment.

Review: Take the Money and Jump

D.B. Cooper belongs in the pantheon of American desperados-a Jesse James or Billy the Kid for our times.

On Nov. 24, 1971, Cooper hijacked a Northwest Orient Airlines Boeing 727 as it was en route to Seattle. He threatened to blow up the plane with a homemade bomb, and he demanded $200,000 and four parachutes. Once the loot and gear were delivered on the tarmac in Seattle, Cooper directed the pilots to fly to Mexico. The refueled jet headed south. Over the Cascade mountain range, Cooper jumped from the plane's rear-exit stairway, the cash in a bag tied to his body. Years later, some of the money turned up half-buried in the wilderness-but no trace of Cooper has ever been found.

An artist's rendering of Cooper in his shiny wraparound sunglasses quickly became a pop icon. The skyjacker also triggered a run of bizarre copycat crimes. Now John Wigger, a history professor at the University of Missouri, has reconstructed Cooper's story, among others, in Meticulously reported, the book belongs on the shelf with other pop histories of the febrile last decades of the 20th century in America.
