...unofficial campaign symbol of Moise Tshombe's new Conaco Party is a smooth, black $50 attaché case. He brought it back from Brussels with him last week, waved it triumphantly to the cheering crowds that lined his two-hour parade route from Ndjili Airport into the capital, displayed it shyly before whirring cameras and popping flashbulbs at his official residence, and probably took it to bed with him that night. The fuss over the attaché case was well-warranted. It contained that most powerful of Congolese magic: money, and the promise of more money to come...
...Bloodier Contention. Settlement of le contentieux meant more than mere money to Tshombe; it doubtless would improve his political survivability as well. With Congo-wide elections promised during the next few months, Moise and his magic black attaché case are certainly the front runners...

To no noticeable avail...
Bromine has long been known for its fireproofing qualities, but if it combines with wood's cellulose fibers, it weakens them seriously. Dr. Lewin's process gets around this disadvantage by forcing the bromine to attach itself to the wood's lignin, the cement that causes the fibers to stick to each other. The best grades of paper have no lignin, but the types of wood pulp used to make paperboard and wallboard retain enough of it to make Dr. Lewin's process useful...
