It was only one of several victories for the U.S. at the five-day meeting. The board also rejected a Soviet bid to cut costs by firing UNESCO's 143 American employees. And it sidestepped an effort by M'Bow to sue the U.S. in the World Court in an attempt to collect an American contribution of $43 million...
