...Confidence blasted a salute, and Libya's 76-year-old King Idris last week officially opened his country's newest oil port at Marsa Hariga, two miles from Tobruk. To mark the occasion, the desert monarch was handed a $5,000 gold key by Texas' Nelson Bunker Hunt, 40, second son of H. L. Hunt and half owner of the oil company that made the Marsa Hariga facilities possible. The other 50% interest is held by British Petroleum Co., and the firm is named - logically, if not lyrically- BP Bunker Hunt...
...pumping a modest 100,000 bbl. a day, BP Bunker Hunt ranks fifth among the majors operating in Libya. But it has enormous potential, because of its concessions in the huge Sarir field. To exploit its holding, BP Bunker Hunt has built a capacious crude-oil pipeline leading from its rigs in the Sarir to Marsa Hariga. Running 320 miles, the 34-in., multimillion-dollar line could ultimately carry almost 1,000,000 bbl. at a clip. It is buried six feet beneath the dunes in order to keep the oil liquid during the chill desert nights. The pipeline runs...
...tiny pond. For a while, he played it safe, laying up close to the green and pitching on. Then he got bored. On the 535-yd. eleventh hole, Jack swung mightily for the pin. The ball missed the pond all right-but wound up instead in a bunker off the green. That cost him a stroke and the tournament lead: one stroke behind Billy Casper, tied with Arnold Palmer. "Pure Fun."

Laise, 49, U.S. Ambassador to Nepal, one of five U.S. women to hold ambassadorial rank; she for the first time, he for the second, and the first ever for two U.S. Ambassadors; in Katmandu, Nepal, where Bunker will make his headquarters between trouble-shooting missions around the world...
When the rain stopped, the enemy mortars opened fire. As the first shells fell, the U.S. gun crews tumbled out of their bunkers, and the North Vietnamese charged, laughing and screaming "G.I., you die!" Many of the 200 Americans on the hill did. So sudden was the attack that the Air Cav defenses were quickly overrun. While some of the enemy worked at destroying the howitzers, others ran from bunker to bunker, tossing in grenades and shooting survivors. Gradually, the remaining defenders pulled back around the two 105s still in U.S. hands. The guns were cranked down to point-blank...
