Called "Kojah" for reasons best understood by the trade (although the name does have a bit more class than "mable" or "sink"), the fur is much thicker and softer than conventional mink and less bulky than sable...
Seven-Week Stall. Once the modalities are arranged, the negotiators will enter an even thicker diplomatic jungle. General Creighton Abrams, the U.S. commander in Viet Nam, expects Hanoi to start right off with a demand for a cease-fire in place-a move opposed by most policymakers in Washington and Saigon because it would leave the Viet Cong in control of too much territory.

A dozen times, while Skipper Young deftly backed and turned the boat, Clarke maneuvered the marlin to within 50 yds. of Sea Wolfe, only to have the fish launch a run that stripped 500 yds. of line off the reel in the space of seconds. The duel...
