Beards & Wine. Another important rebel link to outside aid is Arua (pop. 8,000), an otherwise sleepy town in western Uganda where the Lugbara tribeswomen still go bare-breasted and men hunt monkeys with bows and arrows. Somewhat reluctantly, the Uganda government has allowed Arua to become a haven for Simba warriors, who come in by truck and Jeep from the Congolese town of Aru just across the border, load up on food and liquor, then, after sleeping it off in a tin-roofed "refugee center," truck contentedly back.

Footage of a strip show in Beirut brings on a French tootsie who casts a hard eye at the camera and says she will gladly trade off her pasties to any sheik, sultan or oil-rich daddy who can meet the cover charge.
