In fact, I heard he shot some of the book's photos at the time of filming. Cecil B. DeMille was looking for a director to do the opening sequence to represent the creation of the earth, and Haas' color abstracts got him the job. A later version of the book uses other creation stories as well as the Bible. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch A modernfleet of ships does not so much make use of the sea as expoit a highway. - Joseph Conrad
