During last month's Rabat conference on North African unity, Morocco's handsome, personable King Hassan II wangled an informal invitation to visit Algeria from the charmed guests in the Algerian delegation. Fact was Algeria's Premier Ahmed ben Bella hit the roof when he heard the news, for he reserved the honor of the first official visit of a chief of state to Algeria since its independence for a real advocate of "socialist Arab nationalism," Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser.

...some aspects of the political Quincy will remain. The Africa Table, a forum for African nationalists and Africanist professors, will continue to draw foreign students and Africa buffs from throughout the College and the 'Cliffe. The Debate Council, lodged with its trophies in Quincy's basement, will continue to be dominated by Quincy men. The East Asia Table will continue to lure scholars and politicians...
...Black Africa's most distinguished intellectual. For it had been the bespectacled Senghor who originally installed Senegal's two-headed system of divided powers after leading the country into independence 2½ years ago.

...years after the bloody Mau Mau war against the whites, the British finally agreed last week to let their East African colony of Kenya take its first big step toward uhuru-freedom. Ending three weeks of talks in Nairobi with Kenya's tribal-backed political leaders, among them grey-bearded ex-Mau Mau Chieftain Jomo ("Burning Spear") Kenyatta, Colonial Secretary Duncan Sandys emerged to make his announcement to the press. Elections will be held May 18-26 for the colony's first internal self-government. To be elected under a new, 300-page constitution: seven assemblies, plus...
