A PIRATE’S HOME
AFTER INTERVIEWING MR. ZACHARY, I was invited to tour his
fabulous zeppelin, the Pandora. With the help of AAW’s technical
crew, we rigged a tiny concealed camera to get our readers exclu-
sive photos of the interior of this airborne pirate fortress. Don’t ask
where that camera was concealed, please! —Patricia Clark

the captain and crew in a Pennsylvania wheat field ...
and sailed off into infamy.

Pandora in honor of Pandora’s box, which, according
to Greek legend, contained the innumerable plagues
of humanity, yet also contained the Hope that has com-
forted humanity from misfortune.
