Ojukwu's Ibos dominate the oil-rich East, and they want to keep things that way. Gowon, commanding 7,000 troops who are armed with sophisticated weapons and stirred by a stern Moslem faith, could easily put intense-perhaps fatal -pressure on Ojukwu's single battalion of 2,500 men.

...gallon colossus. The complex was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's Gordon Bunshaft, who also did Yale's rare-book library. Situated on a 19-acre extension of the university, the $10,750,000 project (to be paid for by Texas' oil-rich land-grant endowment fund) is actually two buildings: the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library-a 200-ft.-long, 85-ft.-high box on a podium-and a low-lying 935-ft.-long campus library and research center...
