...obtained a small number of pearlfish two years ago and kept some in cages in a water-covered rice field, others in test tanks. Their breeding habits were unaffected; during one two-month test, three pairs of caged pearlfish produced a total of almost 2,000 eggs. While 60% hatched under ideal laboratory conditions, as few as one-tenth of 1% of those left to dry in a simulated ricefield environment later produced fish. But even this rate, Bay calculated, is enough for a yearly population of about 38,000 fish per acre...

...Kuntze's empire collapsed. His headquarters unit was dissolved, and all logistics operations were transferred to other commands. Kuntze himself was shipped out to the 12th Naval District headquarters in San Francisco. Last week the Navy revealed the reason.

There were rumors of currency violations, misappropriation of Government funds and personal indiscretions, but all the Navy would say was that Captain Kuntze, unofficial mayor of Saigon, stood accused of "personal misconduct." The court-martial would...
...Russian, bolshoi means big. As applied to the Bolshoi Ballet, it means grandiose. Finishing up its final run in Manhattan before pushing off on a two-month cross-country junket, the Bolshoi last week clearly demonstrated that it possesses more depth and breadth in dancing talent than any other major ballet company. The latest evidence of this was the appearance of a pair of 24-year-old newcomers who seem surely destined to become the new superstars of ballet...
...need for medical and especially surgical care is so great, the supply so short, and the gratitude of the long-suffering Vietnamese so apparent, that some doctors soon decide that their two-month tours are far too short. University of Colorado Surgeon Thomas Carey has volunteered for four months. Says Dr. Herschel L. Douglas, 31, a general practitioner from Lovington, N. Mex.: "It's difficult to come here and get involved emotionally and morally and then just go home and forget about it." Home after one tour last fall, Dr. Douglas found he could not forget. He has gone...
