...after 4 p.m., Hammarskjold and his party of 15 climbed aboard the Albertina, a white DC-6 used by the U.N. in the Congo. Hammarskjold's main concern, on takeoff, was ominous: his plane had to cross territory controlled by a marauding Katanga jet fighter known as "The Lone Ranger." The pilot, thought to be Rhodesian or an English-speaking Belgian, had been terrorizing U.N. garrisons since the beginning of the fighting, had even made strafing passes at a press conference given by U.N.

...centuries from 500,000 to 1,200, and its domain, which once stretched 870 miles from northern Mato Grosso to the sea, has shrunk to the shores of a jungle island. Of the Pau d'Arcos, some 3,000 strong at the beginning of the century, a lone survivor remains-an old woman wearing out her days as a stranger in another tribe. Many tribes, among them the Amoipiras and the Potiguaras, live only in the history books...
