...negotiate without preconditions, the U.S. agreed. When India proposed a cessation of hostilities and the policing of boundaries by an Afro-Asian force, the U.S. expressed interest and began discussions with the Indian government. Both these proposals plus those of the secretary general of the United Nations, five African heads of state, two left-wing British MP's, and the Canadian delegate to the International Control Commission, among others, have been heard and rejected in Hanoi and Peking. Marshal Tito and the other nonaligned chiefs of state who asked negotiations were denounced as "monsters and freaks" by China. India...
...reified visions of various pretensions, neuroses and complexes in sometimes nightmarish forms. But just about anything could set off Artzy's imagination.

Already over a thousand African nationalists are held in Rhodesian detention camps. The Rhodesian army is equipped with armored cars and automatic weapons and backed by an air force with French helicopters and British jets...
Despite his past friendship, Tshombe refused, announced that he would take his Conaco Party into the parliamentary opposition. As opposition leader, calculated Moise, he would still have a good chance of winning Kasavubu's job in February. Perhaps so, but precedent and the realities of African democracy are against him. Not once has the President of any black African country been defeated at the polls...
