While Financial Whiz Kid Edward M. Gilbert, 38, pondered his sudden flunkout in extradition-proof Brazil, a posse of creditors tried to corral what was left of the fortune he supposedly amassed as president of the E. L. Bruce hardwood flooring firm. All they got was splinters. The Government hit him with a $3,464,472 tax lien, but there was no cash in his bank accounts. Bruce thought it had a lock on the goodies in his Fifth Avenue flat, but aside from the underwear, not much had been paid for. Most of his $524,635 art collection...

Corral, president of the 657-man Corral-Wodiskay Cia.: "What if you establish a factory there and they change the rules of the game on you? You've lost a lot of money, that...
...Under Secretary of State George Ball: "Freedom of movement for the peace-keeping forces, without the daily, bloody harassment by local Katanga troops, whipped into excited and irresponsible action by rumor, radio and beer." After that, it became the task of hard-working U.S. Ambassador Edmund Gullion to corral Tshombe, who had fled to the Northern Rhodesia border, and bring him face to face with Adoula. Guaranteed safe passage, Tshombe agreed to fly-in President Eisenhower's old Columbine III-to the meeting in Kitona, a sweltering settlement near the mouth of the Congo River on the Atlantic...
