In Chicago, where the white community dismissed Martin Luther King's 1966 civil rights crusade with a hatful of vapid promises, black pocketbook power has become an effective, constructive force. In less than two years, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, 26, a burly, apothegmatizing King lieutenant who praises the Lord and believes in the might of economics, has wrested work from ghetto businessmen for 3,000 of his flock and boosted South Side Negroes' annual income by $22 million...

But Cousteau's red-capped divers fearlessly ran off experiments right in their menacing midst. One crewman rode the back of a 60-ton whale shark. Others worked in pairs, back to back, each carrying a shark billy to fend off attackers...
...TRIALS OF BROTHER JERO and THE STRONG BREED. The first play by Nigerian Playwright Wole Soyinka is an affectionate spoof of the self-anointed preachers who collect their flocks on the African beaches, while the second play draws its symbolism and rich imagery from tribal myths and archetypes...
