...TACKLES: Joe Greene, North Texas State, 6 ft. 4 in., 274 Ibs.; and Rolf Krueger, Texas A & M, 6 ft. 4 in., 240 Ibs. Pumping his arms and legs like pistons, Greene is a kind of fearsome onesome. Says one scouting report: "He's tough and mean and comes to hit people. Good killer instincts. Mobile and hostile." The consensus on Krueger is that he is "a natural." He is "rugged, durable, covers the outside very well and has lots of desire," just like his brother Charlie, a tackle for the San Francisco 49ers. His coaches...
There are rumors that France may have decided to take over the entire mercenary show in Biafra. The Biafrans have expelled Colonel Rolf Steiner, the German ex-Legionnaire who had commanded their crack mercenary-led unit (TIME, Oct. 25). On arrival here in Gabon, Steiner refused to answer questions, but an aide admitted that the Steiner party had been escorted to the Biafran airport in handcuffs.

...Lord Chamberlain concentrate on his other duties, such as arranging Buckingham Palace garden parties and caring for the royal swans. In London's West End, arrangements are now being made to bring back such once banned plays as Jean-Claude van Itahe's America Hurrah and Rolf Hochhuth's Soldiers. "We are at last released from the tyranny of the theatrical leaseholder," says Osborne dryly. "There will probably be a quick rash of hairy American filth, but it shouldn't threaten the existence of cheerful, decent, serious British filth...
...backbone of Ojukwu's military resistance is a small group of white mercenaries commanded by Colonel Rolf Steiner, a 38-year-old former Foreign Legion sergeant who fought in Indo-China and Algeria. His ability to make the most of Biafra's minimal military resources has moved him steadily upward in rank and power since he signed on last December. When news of the federal onslaught reached Ojukwu, he hurried to Steiner's headquarters in an abandoned nunnery in Owerri...
