...postponed the meeting, said that the Americans could leave whenever they liked, and told a small group of U.S. citizens who work for Uganda Airlines that they should regard the people of his country as their "brothers and sisters." Just as Washington was beginning to sigh in relief, Amin broadcast a warning that 2,600 American, British and Israeli "mercenaries" were marching through Kenya to invade Uganda-a charge that the Kenya government dismissed as "hallucinations and shadowboxing...
...Mary Tyler Moore Show has amounted to only 84 hours of viewing time over the past seven years. This month MTM will broadcast its final episode. The tearful farewell has already been taped: new owners take over Mary's mythical WJM-TV in Minneapolis and decide that WJM'S local news program is not much good.

Reporters for the censored press, dressed all in yellow, along with a muttering anonymous crowd, dressed all in black, compose what is analogous to the chorus of the Greek tragedy. (The journalists also wear sunglasses. It is a bitterly appropriate effect that these "reporters" should have their vision blocked by dark glasses.) With voices reminiscent of CBS Evening News, the journalists mouth the distortions and fabrications Creon has fed them. They are the ones, Antigona says, who make it inevitable that there be "two versions of the truth: mine and theirs. Mine...
