...Much of the exporting begins by rail. Shipments go to friendly Portuguese Mozambique and its port of Beira. Since the rail lines from Malawi also run to Beira, outgoing Rhodesian goods are simply provided with Malawian or Mozambican certificates of origin before being loaded aboard ship. To show how brazen the practice getting around the U.N. rules has become, the Sunday Times reprints a Mozambique certification for 4,500 Ibs. of corned beef-a profitable product that the Portuguese colony does not manufacture...

He seems determined to play not just a man but a whole concept of humanity, and Saxon's brazen theft of the hoss soon looms as a cause equal in significance to the Magna Carta or the Declaration of Human Rights. Though Saxon ropes Brando, drags him through a stream, and presses his forearm onto a scorpion during an Indian wrestling match, Brando survives to get away with the girl...
