...Prime Minister's grand plan-and the platform on which he will fight the election campaign-will be to get what he calls an internal settlement." This means forging a multiracial government that would, he hopes, include at least one relatively moderate black nationalist leader, like Bishop Abel Muzorewa or the Rev. Ndabaningi Sithole, both of whom are currently inside Rhodesia. By so doing, Smith reasons, he would be conforming to international insistence that his white minority government give way to black majority rule. Smith's goal clearly, is to prevent the "external" Patriotic Front headed by Robert...
...closest the summit came to consensus was on how to end white rule in Rhodesia. For years black nationalists have been divided between relative moderates, such as Bishop Abel Muzorewa and the Rev. Ndabaningi Sithole, and the more extreme forces, which now call themselves the Patriotic Front, headed by Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe. The moderates, while willing to accept a gradual transfer of power, have also been insisting that black Rhodesians be allowed to choose their leaders in free elections. But the Patriotic Front wants first to take power and then hold elections. Demonstrating their ability to separate ideology...
Lefebvre, 71, was the missionary archbishop in Senegal, and has also served as a bishop in France and as superior general of the Fathers of the Holy Spirit.

In fact, he is only one of a growing new breed of doctors: the family practitioner. The first trained and accredited F.P.s, as they are called, appeared in 1970. Now there are more than 11,000 (out of the 340,000 active U.S. doctors). Like that vanishing species, the old-fashioned G.P.. family practitioners will do everything from delivering babies and setting bones to patching up family quarrels. In emergencies, they will even make house calls, which...
More important, family practitioners are winning the loyalty of their clientele. Says one of Bishop's patients: "If we need him, we can call him at night and he'll help us." Adds an expectant mother: "I'd rather go to Dr. Bishop than an obstetrician. He can take care of me, my husband and our baby. We have gotten to know him as a friend...
