He visited Fort Jeffer- son, Americas Devils Island, the Civil war sea-fortresS sixty miles out in the Gulf of Mexico from Key West. This prison was made famous by the unjust imprisonment or pr. Samuel Mudd, the doctor who set the broken leg of John Wilkes Tooth, after tho murder of Lincoln MT, Halliburton spent Q winter ID Russia.
 Of life in the Soviet state he has much to say--and he b not afraid t0 gay 1t as he does not expect to 70 back, He turned monk ct Q inonastery on Mt. Athos, the TO. Iigious community in northern Greece where no worian--or any le. male animal or fowi--has set foot for . thousand years.
