     George Markov was a famous writer in Bulgaria. In 1969 he suspected that he was going to be
imprisoned or killed because one of his plays was regarded as being an attack on leaders of Bulgaria.
Markov managed to reach England and got a job with the BBC, writing something in Bulgaria.
     Some of the BBC programmes were critical of life in Bulgaria. Perhaps as a result of this, Markov
received an anonymous telephone call warning him that he would be killed. In September 1978, Markov
stopped his car in London and started to walk to his office. When he was passing a bus line, a man in the
line seemed to drop his umbrella accidently. Markov felt a sudden pain in the leg.
    When Markov reached his office, he spoke about the matter to a friend. A few hours later, he began
to feel hot. He was sent to hospital and died four days later. The doctors examined his body, and they
were puzzled about the cause of his death. Scientists were asked to help and they found a tiny metal pellet
in Markov's leg. The scientists believed that the two holes in it must contain an unknown poison in them.
    A few weeks before Markov was "shot" with a poisoned pellet fired from an umbrella, another
Bulgarian had the same experience in France. Towards the end of August 1978, Kostov felt a sharp pain
in the back when he was leaving a railway station in Paris. He was ill for a few days but became well.
When news of Markov's death became known, Kostov was asked to return to hospital for examination.
Doctors found a tiny pellet in his back, but it had stuck in an area from which the poison had not been
able to spread.
     The police in both countries are still searching for the reasons why both men were attacked. They
hoped to catch their attackers.

  The expedition in 1958 was part of International Geographical year(IGY:地球物理年), which is the name given to a world-wide scientific research program, that more than 5 000 scientists took part in.Actually, the IGY lasted 18 months-not for just a year.A part of its research is still going on.
