Squabbling occurs during 501's damp, disorganized first nights. Ranger Brad Wolgast, 21, an eagle scout and psychology student from Kansas, observes privately that the troop's adults and boys communicate poorly. "Things get left unsaid," he explains. Staff members at base camp tell of a stressed-out troop that tied one of its hikers to a tree earlier this year. Philmont chaplain Rusty Cowden, 38, remembers his own trek in 1967: "We got lost. A bear ate our food, and it rained 11 out of 12 days." But Cowden recalls the trip joyously. Coping with blisters, bears and soggy...
...supplying industries were built up far from ports. East Germany has launched one 10,000-ton freighter at Warnemünde, now is producing other freighters at Wismar and Rostock, plus 500-ton fishing luggers and luxury yachts (for Communist brass and export) in shipyards at Stralsund and Wolgast on the blue Baltic. But East Germany's marine diesel engines are of prewar design, far too heavy and bulky to compete with the West's. Radio equipment is antiquated, automatic welding in its infancy, the use of plastics just beginning...
...took two husky hospital attendants to handle him when they decided to get him under control. He got a chestful of broken ribs during the mauling, but he recovered quickly enough. He was used to beatings. It was a long series of beatings that had put Adolph ("Ad") Wolgast into the psychopathic ward of California's Stockton State Hospital in the first place. For eleven years the "Michigan Wildcat" had held his own in the savage battles of the pre-World War I prize ring. He had slugged and butted and cuffed his way to the lightweight championship...
...power politics Adolf Hitler exhibits all the amazing intuitive timing and swift footwork that his namesake, Adolf Wolgast, pugilist of German extraction, used to show in the prize ring. Adolf Hitler has made only one error in timing-when he started a punch at Austria in 1934 and was blocked by Benito Mussolini. The speed, precision and preparation with which Adolf Hitler moves should no longer surprise the world. But last week he outdid himself. The four familiar steps of a Hitler conquest-preliminary propaganda, conference with victims, march of troops, and triumphal entry-followed each other like the rapid...
...York and Pennsylvania, Midget Wolgast is flyweight champion of the world because he won an elimination tournament sanctioned by the boxing boards in those States. Everywhere else Frankie Genaro, elderly and cautious Italian, is champion. Last week in Madison Square Garden the two champions sparred 15 rounds to decide it once for all. Wolgast flopped his long hair up and down, bounced off the ropes, flickered his harmless sewing-machine-needle left with no results. He won four rounds and began to tire. Genaro hit him twice in the left eye with a punch supposed to be fatal...
