Drums for Independence. West Africans, who number about 7,000 in London, center on the dreary red brick building of the West African Students Union in Warrington Crescent. East Africans throng the tall, modern Georgian building near Marble Arch called East Africa House, a combination university hostel and West End club.

...Donato was a conscientious objector in World War II, eventually settled with his wife on Long Island in a white, wooden colonial house ("I was so sick of brick") and tried to overcome his writer's block.

Father Kern's dream parish, the Roman Catholic Most Holy Trinity Church, is located in a rundown, ramshackle Detroit slum, where sagging frame houses, tarpaper shacks and old brick duplexes are slowly giving way to warehouses and trucking garages. This is Corktown, once as Irish as its name, and the big white church, which has been in its present location since 1855, still sports a trim of faded Kelly green. But the Irish have moved on and up in the world; Corktown is now made up primarily of Mexicans, Negroes fresh from the South, Puerto Ricans and Maltese...
