World’s biggest swamp stuns travelers in Sudan’s Sudd voyage
The Sudd in southern Sudan is a vast, treacherous swamp where malaria, dense vegetation, and long delays plague a 1000 mile White Nile steam journey from Juba to Kosti. Yet Dinka and Nuer people, markets, and old witch doctors add color as government plans a 220 mile canal to drain part of the swamp.

Steel industry cuts energy use in 1978 first half
The American Iron and Steel Institute reports the domestic steel industry reduced energy use by 7.6 percent from 1972 levels in the first six months of 1978. The aim is a nine percent cut by 1980, despite strikes, cold winter, and pollution-control energy use. Key factors include lower coke rate in blast furnaces, more electric furnace production, and greater continuous strand casting.
