...There is plenty of room," says Sabbá, and more men are moving into it. Belém-born Isaac Benzecry is processing alligator hides, distilling rosewood (for oils used in cosmetics), curing furs (ocelot, jaguar, otter) and skins (water hog, wild boar, deer). Onetime Belém Fruit Peddler and Cabbie Manuel Pinto Silva now turns out building tiles, cement and lumber, is putting the finishing touches on the Amazon's first skyscraper in downtown Belém. Ukraine-born U.S. Citizen Maurice Kleinberg started Belém's first deep-sea fishing fleet...
While Author Kieran easily makes his point that nature endures all things, even concrete and steel, he also chronicles the species that have been pushed beyond the city limits-the oyster, the deer, the bobcat and beaver. Among the latest to leave is snowy-thatched, Latin-quoting John Kieran himself. The story on nature in New York is complete and compelling, but the story was filed from Rockport, Mass. His ancient habitat, a rambling Riverdale house where once a flying squirrel was a steady customer at a bird-feeding station, is now a stretch of concrete in the Henry Hudson...

His top worry of the day was checking the waters of the Pigeon, Hominy, Davidson and other rivers to be sure that they were flowing silt-free; miles below three North Carolina communities and some of the state's biggest paper, cellophane, rayon and nylon plants were depending on a steady 100 million gallons daily...
Still pushing for further progress, Mike DeBakey gets less than five hours sleep a night, rises at 4:30 to work on reports before going to surgery at 7:30, has taken off only two weekends (to hunt deer) in four years. Lean, slightly stooped and with big, penetrating dark eyes, he is so miserly of time that he never drives when he can fly, never walks when he can drive -even the one block from medical school to hospital...
