...BRUTAL civil war in Nigeria is slowly dragging to a close. Little remains of the secessionist Eastern Region--Biafra. In just a few months, probably, all rebel territory will belong to the Federal Republic. Even then, though, some fighting will continue. Guerrilla units are operating behind federal lines, and they have been since August...
...more than ever the creative heart of American society. Indeed, the city and its compounded quandaries-from the problem of race to the issue of law and order-dominate almost all social and political debate in the country today.
