Salisbury and other Rhodesian cities are still secure. But much of the countryside-particularly in the eastern districts that face Mozambique-is subject to attack from increasingly well-armed guerrillas who terrorize black villages, assault sandbagged and floodlit white farmhouses with rockets and mortars, sabotage the two rail lines to South Africa, and plant mines on paved as well as dirt roads. Traffic moves in armed convoys on many main highways, and it is a rare farmer in Rhodesia today who does not carry in his car an automatic rifle or even a "rhogun," the local adaptation of Israel...
Wide Influence. The attack on Zaïre is the latest-and perhaps most ominous-indication of the fast-growing presence in black Africa of the Cubans, whom former U.N. Ambassador Daniel P. Moynihan called "the Gurkhas of the Russian empire." Besides the approximately 13,000 Cuban troops and 4,000 advisers in Angola, Western intelligence sources believe that Havana now has military and/or civilian advisers in the Congo (Brazzaville) (2,000), Sierra Leone (200-300), Guinea (300-500), Equatorial Guinea (300-500), Guinea-Bissau (300), Mozambique (500-600), Tanzania (500), Somalia (650) and, for the past month...

The big gun on attack this year will be three-year starter Chico McKenzie (36-9-45), who led the team in scoring with 43 points two years ago and had another fine campaign in 1976.

Jim Michelson is back after posting the third best save percentage in the Ivy League last season, but he has faced a strong challenge from last year's backup, sophomore Kenny First. After playing on the riding attack and notching a crucial goal against Brown last spring, Daily Kennedy has returned to play goalie, his high school position. Blessed with more quickness and better stick-handling than the other two, he will continue to make appearances on attack but may be starting in the net by the end of the season...
...support and as an indication that a possible arms control treaty with the Soviets would not be doomed from the start. Opposition to Warnke's nomination seemed to be based not on Warnke's lack of qualifications, but because he was too well qualified. The target of the attack was not so much Warnke but the prospect of mutual controls on the arms race...
