...A.G.R.S. recovery teams soon found that they had to become rivermen, mountain climbers, explorers, bush diplomats and detectives. A.G.R.S. men, almost one-third of them Chinese-Americans, went out in groups of from three to ten. They traveled by jeep, mule, native pony, oxcart, sampan or on foot, were almost always supplied by air. Some of them headed west of Chungking toward Tibet, and into mountain country which no white man had ever explored. Others battled leech-ridden jungles and flooded rivers; one group swam a swollen stream to find the bodies of a B-29 crew, swam back, pushing...

For generations they have tracked game for chiefs in the Belgian Congo, emitting only an occasional soft "groo," plaintively yodeling during the mating season, but never barking. Last week, however, in London's Trinity Hall, at the annual show of the British Basenji Club, a barkless Basenji barked. It was the end of 6,000 years of canine taciturnity. "My breath simply went," gasped Acting Club Secretary Veronica Tudor Williams. "Quite a bombshell," muttered the permanent secretary...
