...three months the Norwegian trawler Sjovik had found good fishing in the Barents Sea. But then, as it was trawling as usual for arctic cod in international waters, the 1,000-ton ship netted a catch that made waves last week in the naval intelligence services of both Norway and the Soviet Union...
...been towed backward for about a mile, a periscope shot out of the water just astern of it. Then the submarine surfaced, black and wet, but with no identification marks whatsoever. Skipper Hamnen and his 40 crewmen reckoned that it was a Soviet sub, but tried shouting in Norwegian anyway to the seamen who began appearing on its deck. There was no response.

Members of the British schooner Sir Winston Churchill's all-women crew face the inevitable galley chores (bottom...
...number of LDCs threatened to try to launch the fund without the major developed countries. Norwegian Delegate Martin Huslid won long applause when he announced that his country would contribute $25 million regardless of the conference's outcome. Without the participation of the large industrial nations, however, a common fund would not have adequate financial resources to be effective. In such circumstances, moreover, the fund could be transformed from a cooperative enterprise into a weapon used by cartels of producer countries against their First World customers...
