...less than ten months, Salan has caused the breakdown of government in Algeria and has substituted the S.A.O. as the effective authority. Salan's illegal transmitters repeatedly break into broadcasts of official Radio Algiers, particularly when De Gaulle speaks.

Bounced like Yo-yos by their bucking bikes, they must make their own repairs in case of breakdown, take care of their own first aid. Spills are common: in the Welsh trial. Russia's Vikton Pylajev broke both legs; five other motorcyclists somehow escaped serious injury when they plunged, one after another, down a 60-ft. embankment. Fatigue is universal: 86 competitors failed to finish...
