The Gorgon (Terence Fisher, 1964)
Hammer Horror- not the best but a rattling good yarn, and it does have Messrs. Cushing and Lee
Chopping Mall (1986)
Eight teenagers are trapped after hours in a high-tech shopping mall and pursued by three murderous security robots out of control.
Gold Dagger and Sheath of Tutankhamun
Tutankhamun’s mummy was provided with two daggers encased in gold sheaths, one with an iron blade and the other with a blade of hardened gold. It is the latter specimen which is shown here.
The handle is exquisitely decorated with gold granulation and glass inlays and is fitted with a knob of rock crystal. Dagger length 31.8 cm; blade 20.4 cm, width 3.4 cm; sheath length 20.6 cm, width 4.3 cm.
From the Tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62), Valley of the Kings, West Thebes.

On this day, 3 August 1919, 19-year-old communist Yetta Stromberg was arrested for having a red flag in California. California was one of 24 states which in 1919 banned the flying of red or black socialist or anarchist flags: a crime often punishable by prison sentences of 10 years or more. Stromberg took her case to the Supreme Court and in 1931 the court overturned the bans as violating the first Amendment right to free speech.
