Dipping to dangerously low altitudes, the two-engine Dakota carefully traced the bulges and inlets of the New Guinea coastline. Aboard the plane a weary man and girl spelled each other at the windows with a pair of field glasses. First New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller, hollow-eyed and haggard after a 10,000-mile emergency flight to New Guinea from Manhattan, peered anxiously down at the mangrove and loraro swamps. Then Daughter Mary Rockefeller Strawbridge reached for the glasses. Together they strained for sight or sign of Mary's twin brother, Michael Clark Rockefeller...
...seemed an all but hopeless search. Five days earlier, on a trip between south New Guinea's coastal villages of Agats and Atsj, Mike Rockefeller's native catamaran capsized in the swelling Arafura Sea. Mike dived off to swim for help through waters infested with sharks toward a swampy shore swarming with crocodiles.

Moscow may find it difficult to bind this willful, unpredictable force to a Soviet-made troika, even in the cases of such left-leaning states as Ghana, Guinea and Mali, which sent "observers" to the Communist Party Congress. Nigeria, the most stable former colony south of the Sahara, and the Brazzaville group of twelve former French territories are especially suspicious of Red intentions. The Congo, once Moscow's sharpest spearhead in Africa, may be inching toward stability...
