...concrete auditorium in Anchorage, executives of 50 oil companies bid for the right to explore for oil along a 140-mile coastal stretch of state-owned land. When the bidding ended, Alaska was richer by $862,297,961.05-more than has been mined in yellow gold in the past 80 years, almost 120 times the $7.2 million that Secretary of State William Seward paid for the territory in 1867, and the equivalent of $3,000 for every one of the state's 285,000 men, women and children...

Over the past several months, the Chinese have become increasingly worried by reports in Western newspapers hinting that Moscow is considering a preventive strike against Peking's atomic-weapons plant at Lanchow and the nuclear testing grounds at Lop Nor, although Kosygin has dismissed such stories as "total nonsense."
