Ibbotson opened up. For one wavering second, he hung by Front Runner Jungwirth's shoulder before blasting by the slim, blond Czech. Back in the pack, Delany frantically started a last-lap kick that started the crowd bellowing with delight. Delany sailed toward the front, but Ibbotson streaked across the line 10 yds. in the lead. His time: 3:57.2, smashing the old 3:58 world record set by Australia's John Landy in 1954. In the first four-man finish under four minutes, Delany was clocked at 3:58.8, Jungwirth at 3:59.1 and England...
Dividends Plus Brainwashing. Kinmond asked straight-from-the-shoulder questions and often got surprisingly frank replies from English-speaking guides and government officials.

He picked it up, wiped it clean and popped it into his mouth. He was that hungry and, besides, "There could certainly be nothing wrong in eating my own flesh...
...help one another. Because Canada's provincial governments hold up to 90% of all mineral rights and in the West usually lease them in 100,000-acre blocks (price to Imperial recently: $1,700,000), even the biggest outfit often finds it wise to have allies rather than shoulder the expensive risk alone. Texaco, for example, is the chief operator of the four-company Northern Foothills Agreement Group, which holds drilling rights to 3,500,000 acres in Peace River's Boundary Lake area.
