East & West. The flood of arms has entered the Congo from almost all sides (see map), and in such quantity that some Western intelligence sources say the Simbas cannot possibly absorb any more. Some light equipment was unloaded from Russian and Chinese ships at the Brazzaville Congo port of Pointe Noire, shipped by rail to Gamboma, and smuggled across the Congo River, possibly to secret Simba units in Bolobo -only 180 miles upriver from Leopoldville. Other shipments arrived by sea at Tanzania's capital of Dar es Salaam, were sent in sealed boxcars to the lake port of Kigoma...

...variable in the recovery of a football player is his ability to absorb pain and continue playing. McCluskey, even after his leg was healthy enough for running, couldn't get the pain out of his mind and was ineffective until the Brown game. End Paul Barringer, with hamstring pulls in both legs, still managed to play effectively. Fadden emphasized that this ability to stand pain has nothing to do with toughness; either a player has the ability or he doesn...
