...berets, and the grim, seasoned, Belgian-trained Katanga regulars in their steel helmets and jungle camouflage. Fighting and dying on a daily ration of a handful of maize, they dart stealthily from corner to corner, searching grimly for a target. After four days of fighting, the pickings are slim, for their proudest boast is that not a single U.N. soldier is to be seen in the city's core today...
After a very poor start, Bob Kolodney rallied to turn in one of the best per formances of the evening. Down 1-11 midway through the second period, he fought back, almost gained a pin, and was finally defeated by the slim margin...
...salt for 180 million years is an unheard-of feat. Dombrowski, nevertheless, has able supporters. Bacteriologist Georg Henneberg, head of Berlin's famed Robert Koch Institute, does not doubt that Dombrowski extracted living bacteria from the interior of solid blocks of Zechstein salt-though there is still a slim possibility that the salt was contaminated relatively recently by bacteria that entered the crystalline mass through microscopic cracks. To buttress his theory further, Dombrowski is examining salt from even older beds. Last month the University of Montreal sent him samples from Saskatchewan deposits that are 320 million years...
