Zanzibar, off Tanganyika's coast, offered a welcome respite to svelte Marie Claire Sandys, 34, who dressed down for carefree swimming parties while her statesman husband Duncan tried to settle local political disputes. The Moslem-oriented Indian Ocean isle seemed pleased with both guests, though Sandys objected strenuously when a photographer snapped his lady in definite un-purdah...

Layers many feet thick are suddenly stripped away, leaving ancient sediments bare. If enough sediment is removed, the normally inaccessible base of the Pleistocene is left within reach of the oceanographers' tools...

Below the band the sediment is full of discoasters, the tiny star-shaped fossils of ancient, single-celled plants. Above the band no discoasters can be found. Apparently, they died...
