...each case, unheralded assistance came to the rescue. John Jackenfeld was the unexpected victor in the 100 and 220 events after earlier running a surprisingly strong anchor lap to cinch Harvard'swin in the sprint relays.

The Katangese occupied much of the copper-rich Shaba area without opposition. Mobutu's big break came a fortnight ago when Morocco's King Hassan II, whose army is still fighting leftist guerrillas in the former colony of Spanish Sahara, decided that the time had come to bail out a friend. Egypt's President Sadat was also sympathetic because he is fearful of Soviet...
