...only regular-season game Royal's infantrymen have lost in three years was an 0-6 squeaker to Texas Christian in 1961. "T.C.U. is like a cockroach," Royal complained then. "It isn't what he eats or carries off, but what he falls into and messes up." For five straight weeks this season, Texas has ranked as the nation's No. 1 college team, and last week it avenged that lone T.C.U. defeat by holding T.C.U. to 34 yds. on the ground while Texas Quarterback Duke Carlisle mixed straightforward runs with pass-option plays to gain...

When they attack a tank, the tribesmen first kill off the accompanying infantrymen, then often set it afire with flaming corn stalks...
...Katanga's grip; it was defended by 2,000 boozy gendarmes, 100 of Tshombe's white mercenaries, and a smashing blonde ambulance driver known as "Madame Yvette," who sauntered about in paratroop boots, camouflage uniform, bush hat and shoulder holster. Only 50 miles from Kolwezi, Indian infantrymen probed cautiously forward, waiting only for the signal to head full blast toward the town. But the signal would not be given rashly, for the ragtag mercenaries threatened to blow up a huge dam and industrial installations, leaving the town a blackened shell. They might not be bluffing...
