...Portugal has set out to unlock that interior. It plans to build at Kebrabasa a 510-ft.-high, 1,000-ft-wide dam that by 1974 will generate 12 billion kw-h of electricity per year, 2 billion more than Egypt's Aswan High Dam. Eventually, the dam will become a sort of common-market grid for white-dominated southern Africa. Most of the power will travel 800-mile-long lines to Pretoria and feed South Africa's industry, but Mozambique's other neighbors, Rhodesia and probably Malawi, will get their share...

On its mission off Florida, it discovered a 100-mile by 150-mile area of -'pavement" apparently swept clean by Gulf Stream currents. Analysis of the 600 Ibs. of ore that Aluminaut brought to the surface indicated that most of the pavement below consisted of a good grade of manganese oxide that might some day be mined commercially...

Prisoners screamed for Lovett to unlock the cage. The same key used to open the gun cabinet was the one needed to unlock the padlock at the barracks, and Lovett did not have it. While he watched, helpless, flames rolled across the ceiling, turning metal fixtures red hot. Some prisoners rushed to the showers to escape the heat-only to die from asphyxiation. Some huddled in corners, while others lay flat on the floor. Two or three minutes after the fire started, the other guard returned on the run and tossed the key to Lovett. By then Lovett...
