Meanwhile near Granite Park Chalet, another grizzly slipped like a wraith upon a camp site pitched near a garbage dump purposely baited so that tourists could get a close look at the bears. The grizzly alternately mauled Julie Helgeson, also 19, and her companion, who kept still through the agony of two attacks and thus saved himself. Bitten on the shoulder, legs and buttocks, he heard the girl being dragged away, screaming so loudly that other campers at the chalet heard her anguished cries. After the survivors told their horrifying tales, two grizzlies were quickly slain before the evident killers...
...rockets, dropping them among the parked planes with pinpoint accuracy. Several Air Force 4-FC Phantoms and Marine F-8 fighter-bombers, caught fully fueled and with their bomb racks loaded, were blown high into the air by the explosions. One rocket crashed into an ammo dump, exploding the 500-and 750-lb. bombs in a giant fireball that was visible many miles away. Five base firemen were killed when a bomb went off on a burning Phantom...
...pouring gunpowder on it. After months of experimenting, they discovered how to distill pure salt from sea water, then used the salt to preserve the meat of cows and wild pigs that they occasionally managed to kill. They kept an eye on the U.S. base -and on its garbage dump, which they sometimes raided for supplies.

Deciding that a cave was too obvious a hiding place, they slept under rudimentary lean-tos in jungle thickets, constantly changing locations...

The Planning Board, the Historic Commission, and other like-minded groups believe that the area should be planned in a systematic, coordinated fashion. Other interests--primarily land-hungry businesses, so far--seem to be pressing for a quicker and less lofty disposition of the land. It is obvious that the dump will someday will not be a dump, but the nature, speed, and desirability of the different alternatives are obscure. Likewise the redevelopment of Harvard Square, much discussed in general terms...
What will Cambridge be like in 10 or 15 years? The statistics can't tell the story. Much depends on how individual decisions are made and then implemented--the disposition of the city dump land, for example, could have a lasting impact on Cambridge's politics. It is already clear that the formal and informal role sof the universities are growing larger, if for no other reasons that the rise in the number of employees they hire and the number of students and faculty members they bring to the city. With the NASA complex and the Kennedy Library, are these...
