...Britain. Though the economy is viable, its heavy dependence on sugar, which provides 90% of the nation's income, makes it dangerously vulnerable. The man who gets full responsibility for solving these problems when his official title switches from Premier to Prime Minister this week is Errol Barrow, 46, a stocky, brilliant Negro lawyer who looks and operates like an oldtime American ward boss...

Race relations are good, although the whites, who make up only 8% of the population, control most of the island's wealth.

"Only 1% of the kids are still dese, dem and dose types," says Professor Barrow. Not true. As long as there's a Brooklyn, there'll be a great, great many "dese, dem and dose" types. "Kids," he calls us. Well these "kids" are the happiest in the world. Don't doubt us for a minute. I live in Williamsburg...
