...attack. "The thing that fascinates me," he said sarcastically, "is Ted dy's constant reference to his trips. He made two European trips. He visited eleven countries in 24 days. In Latin America he visited nine countries in 27 days. In Africa he spent 15 days visiting nine African countries. Well, certainly spending one or two days might not make you or I experts, but he picks things up more quickly than perhaps I would." Ted dy still refused to fire back.

Some time soon, Burma's U Thant must decide if he wants a full five-year stint as United Nations Secretary-General after his present temporary term expires next April.

Mild-mannered Nkomo, who has shown up frequently to plead his case for freedom at the U.N., insists that his group has refrained from violence. But he has yet to convince the government of Southern Rhodesia's white Prime Minister Sir Edgar Whitehead...
...whites were alarmed at this drastic action. To former Chief Justice Sir Robert Tredgold, who resigned from the bench in 1960 in protest against earlier restrictive measures, the new laws portend "a police state." What chiefly worried whites was the likelihood that such harsh measures might simply force the African nationalists underground. This seemed to be precisely what Joshua Nkomo had in mind.
