Uganda and the Sudan have promised supplies, France promised air support and China began airlifting 30 tons...
Among those poised for the start at noon are several world-class marathoners along with a few former winners of the event. Bill Rodgers of Melrose, who astonished onlookers in 1975 by winning the Marathon in a record 2:09.55, will join the chase as well as last year's winner, Jack Fultz, a 28-year-old Georgetown graduate from Franklin Park, Pa. (Fultz's time: 2:20.19). 1976 female champ Kim Merritt (2:47.10), who was hospitalized for exhaustion after her victory, will attempt to repeat her win without any of last year's side effects. And 1974 victor...
