...African rebels have greeted Spínola with both suspicion and hostility, viewing his ideas for federation as merely a more sophisticated brand of colonialism. If it were to be a true federation, says Luis Cabral, a leader of Guinea's rebels, sheer weight of numbers would give the leadership to blacks. He adds sarcastically: "I'm sure Spinola wouldn't want a black government heading Portugal."

Thus Louis L'Amour, who has produced 60 or so novels to date, is a spring chicken compared with Zane Grey, creator of 89 extra-large books (approximately 9 million words) between 1904 and 1939, or Max Brand (Destry Rides Again), who could turn out 14 pages an hour, and managed a total of 25 million words and 13 pen names before his death...

Then, sickened, he spits it out into a handy container...
...exciting and beautifully photographed attempt at a film about exploitation and freedom, the story falls basically because the hero has no real cognizance of his political situation. However, the music never disappoints: The sound track includes songs by the film's star, Jimmy Cliff, a splendid singer whose brand of reggae is strongly influenced by British rock, and by Desmond Dekker, whose reggae is much closer to the hypnotic "rock steady" rhythms of Jamaica in the early sixties. This film easily warrants a second viewing and hearing. Through Tuesday, April...
