Ogier swung the ship to port. The torpedoes passed 100 yds. to starboard. For a farewell blast, the two boats sprayed away futilely with their 25-mm. machine guns, turned tail and headed toward the north...
...very well be, for it seemed that nothing short of major military aid from the outside could stop the rebels and preserve the month-old "government of public salvation" led by Premier Moise Tshombe. Though the Congolese army, in a rare show of aggressiveness, had recaptured the river port of Bolobo some 200 miles northeast of Leopoldville and three other towns, rebel forces threatened Kivu Central province's highland capital of Bukavu.

Yet they do not often concede the degree of freedom given to Italian Architect Giovanni Michelucci, 73, in his new Church of St. John the Baptist. His client was the governmental superhighway authority (modeled on the New York Port Authority) that built the Autostrada del Sole from Milan to Naples.
