His daily routine has been changed only by the fact that he has found time to accept invitations to lecture outside the University. He most recently was invited to deliver the Candler Lectures at Emory University. When he was still actively teaching, Professor Wolfson felt he couldn't afford the time away from Cambridge. He considers them a "good change," and feels that any professor can always keep himself busy in retirement by lecturing...

Field Marshal Russia also replied-but in a taunting letter sent not to General China but to British District Officer John Candler. "Soon you die," the note said. Shortly afterwards, Candler drove into the forest and ran smack into Russia's ambush. His body was buried this week in Nairobi's cemetery, but without a head. Kimathi's men kept that as a trophy of the battle...
