...Guinea, and with them came the end of the air search for Anthropologist Michael Clark Rockefeller, 23, last seen a fortnight earlier swimming away from his capsized boat in the shark-ridden Arafura Sea (TIME, Dec. 1). Though missionaries and Papuan natives doggedly beat on through the increasingly impassable bush, the Australian rescue helicopters departed-as did Michael's father, New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller, who, upon his arrival at Idlewild Airport, first began to use the past tense in describing his adventurous youngest son: "He knew no fear.

...find Michael Rockefeller, the Dutch, at Governor P. J. Platteel's order, turned out boats, airplanes, marines and 5,000 bush-beating natives. The Australians dispatched helicopters.

We had no idea what 'underdeveloped' meant...
...loose, and kept a herd of goats to be doled out when the pregnant lioness could not hunt for herself (Joy Adamson is sentimental about all kinds of animals, but she is a realist, and pet lions do not eat canned cat food). Elsa's life in the bush did not affect her extraordinary trust of Mrs. Adamson; the author tells, for instance, of being allowed to feel the lioness' abdomen during the pregnancy, and records that Elsa often would stay in camp for a day or two at a time, while her exasperated mate roared...
