EVERYBODY in this shabby capital knows about it, but few will talk. The unmarked planes, however, are there for all to see: four DC-4s, three DC-3s and a single Constellation, parked on the palm-lined seaside tarmac. Patient research shows that the aircraft have varied registration-French, German, Belgian, Zambian, Biafran and Gabonese. Each afternoon, three or four planes taxi to the nearby military airfield for loading, then take off for Biafra at 6 p.m. sharp. They return around midnight, after the 900-mile round trip. Just as predictable as the flights is the black Citroen, owned...
...answer questions, but an aide admitted that the Steiner party had been escorted to the Biafran airport in handcuffs. The speculation is that Steiner was fired because the Biafran military had grown increasingly jealous of his privileged position with Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu and had done their best to see that Steiner's troops did not get their share of ammunition and rations. The German, in retaliation, supposedly commandeered a food convoy, a deed that led to his ouster...
Galamian frequently ends a lesson with a warning about too much practice. "Four efficient hours a day is best," he says. He never heeds the advice against too much work himself. He has about 100 students who see him anytime from once a week to once a month, not counting old grads who come back for checkups.

...their part, San Diego fans can't see enough of Hayes. Chanting "Stomp 'em E," they turn out at the city's new $6,500,000 Sports Arena to cheer his every move. The Rockets' home attendance, which last season averaged a near-bankrupt 4,000 a game, has increased by 35%. The team's scoring fortunes are also booming. "Elvin has made us competitive," explains Coach Jack McMahon. "Last year we were going into every game knowing that we were heavy underdogs. This year the kids know that at least they have a fighting...
...disdain of youths for instructional discipline. Of the 22 starters on O.S.U.'s two platoons, eleven are sophomores, and Rex Kern, 19, for instance, has yet to learn that quarterbacks should nurture a concern for physical survival. Kern bulls his way head-on into defending behemoths just to see how many he can topple over. Injuries kept Kern from finishing six games this season-but Woody's anger was tempered by the 500 yds. Kern gained rushing...
