Trouble is, demand has drastically diminished the kuruma supply. Japanese fishermen working home waters last year netted only 3,000 tons; another 4,000 tons were imported. But the imports were far from fresh by the time they arrived. The price of local prawns soared to $5 per Ib. Then, last week. Dr. Fujinaga announced that he was about to ease the culinary crisis. After 30 years of study, he has finally learned how to raise captive kuruma prawns in commercial quantities...
...such archaeological dive, says Bass, concentrated on a Bronze Age wreck found by sponge fishermen in 90 ft. of water near the Turkish coast, off Cape Gelidonya. With the same finicky techniques that archaeologists use on land, the water-borne scientists photographed the ancient vessel from above by swimming over it with underwater cameras-a preliminary process already reported in the National Geographic. They marked the crust of lime that covered the remains and carefully chiseled it into chunks that were lifted 3 to the surface by inflated plastic balloons. Bit by bit the wreck was moved ashore and reassembled...

Hair-triggered Brazilian jingoists joined in the protest...
...militarily in British Borneo. Authorities in Singapore feared that local Communists might try to sabotage British bases on the island in order to hamper British retaliation in Borneo. Sukarno is also making muscles against Malaya, which would be the dominant state in the new federation. Djakarta has excluded Malayan fishermen from their traditional fishing grounds off the coast of Sumatra. An Indonesian gunboat recently sank a fully laden rubber barge inside Malayan territorial waters...
