Things have not been going particularly well in Uganda lately. On top of the steady deterioration of the economy and continuing strife within the army, two of President Idi ("Big Daddy") Amin Dada's top civilian ministers turned up in Kenya within the past fortnight. Shortly afterward, Amin announced that he was giving the rest of his Cabinet a month's vacation-presumably a prelude to a major shakeup. "A human being is a human being," Big Daddy explained, "and like a car he needs refueling and fresh air after working for a long time...
...least, not yet. Indeed, tonight he would take the initiative for once. For years he had promised to take his wife to see The Mousetrap, which had opened in 1952. He had finally managed to get some tickets -she would be glad to see it before it closed.

On Lemuria they will create a city over which Christ will reign in the person of the Archangel Melchizedek. Not quite the Christ of the New Testament, though: typifying their...
Boxer Joe Frazier started off the 50-meter swim with a spectacular belly flop. Furiously flailing away but going nowhere, Smokin' Joe surfaced long enough to sputter, "I quit!" Afterward, he panted: "It was like I was throwin' punches at the water and the water kept hittin' back. My big aim was to keep from drownin'." The Cincinnati Reds' Johnny Bench was a more serious competitor in the golf tournament. But two drives into a mangrove swamp erased his early lead and he finished second to Stefanich, who posted a 41 for the nine-hole...
