...Party. On July 7, 1954, Nyerere converted a social club into the Tanganyika African National Union. TANU was his from then on. Off into the back country he went to recruit members and cut tribal bonds. Wearing green bush shirts, slacks and leather sandals, waving an ivory-topped cane and chain-smoking Clipper cigarettes (he has since stopped), Nyerere began touring Tanganyika in a battered Land Rover. "I still remember the license-DSK 750," he reminisces. "We had to push so often over the mudholes that I will never forget it." A low-key speaker who never talked down...
There was last year's 3,800,000-ton sugar-cane crop-the lowest in modern Cuban history. The ministry's industrial investment plan for last year, said Che, was only 62% fulfilled, and for this year has been cut to 75% of the 1963 schedule. Raw-material imports reached only 70% of their scheduled level; because of this, Cuban industrial production was off 16%. Moreover, said Che, "we are undergoing serious tension in a number of factories because equipment is rapidly going to pieces." The only sources for parts are "cannibal" shops, which strip spares from worn...
...tournament since 1960, collected the $4,000 big money at San Diego. "Champagne Tony" Lema, 29, who hardly qualifies as a hardship case ($67,112 last year), won the $5,800 Crosby first prize.

All he did was whomp everybody for $7,500 in San Francisco's Lucky International. Along the way, Rodriguez belted one drive 290 yds. and announced: "I was playing for position, not for distance...
...Finding that business was "less work and a lot more fun" than law, Lamb decided that "the way to build up a big fortune is to get control of companies." He now controls two dozen of them in such assorted industries as rubber tires and sugar-cane-harvesting equipment. For all his wealth, Lamb leans toward the left. At Harvard last week he urged admission of Red China into the U.N. and a "new look" at U.S. relations with Cuba...
...million tons-lowest in 20 years and half the size of the pre-Castro harvest. This year, according to U.S. estimates, the crop will run only to 4,000,000 tons-barely enough to meet Cuba's Iron Curtain commitments. Russia had promised to deliver 3,500 automatic cane loaders and build 500 more in Cuba. As of last week, only 1,500 were available. Also promised were three new sugar mills: only one is ready...
