...leaders, Kaunda is a fervent advocate of nonalignment, and to keep Zambia out of the cold war, he refuses to accept large doses of either American or Russian aid. He is also a passionate African nationalist, and recently admitted that he stands at attention whenever he hears the national anthem-even if he has to climb out of bed. Yet he takes care to keep post-independence compulsions, such as changing the old colonial street names, within reasonable bounds. Last week, for example, the mining town of Broken Hill officially changed the name of Baden-Powell Street to something more...
...plain chant as his starting point. The flowing Gregorian tunes were chanted by a 68-member chorus while Guaraldi improvised back of it with his trio, shifting the mood with the spirit of the prayer. "Lord, Have Mercy" is crisp and plaintive, with a syncopated Latin rhythm; the Communion anthem is a waltzlike blues with a flowing melodic line.

...belting out from extra speakers on the unguarded flank. Many cannot take rock 'n' roll, but no one can leave it. The big beat is everywhere. It resounds over TV and radio, in saloons and soda shops, fraternity houses and dance halls. It has become, in fact, the international anthem of a new and restless generation, the pulse beat for new modes of dress, dance, language, art and morality. The sledgehammer refrains of Wayne Fontana and the Mind Benders' Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um can be heard parting the walls of a Yokohama teahouse, a recreation room in Topeka...
