...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 to his audiences...

Overcrowding seems somehow to upset the rabbits' pituitary and adrenal glands, causing their abnormal secretions to trigger a long chain of fatal troubles...
Died. Abraham Malcolm Sonnabend, 67, Boston financier, one of the nation's best-known corporate marriage brokers, who merged his hotel chain (Manhattan's Plaza, Washington's Mayflower) into money-losing Child's Restaurants in 1956 to form Hotel Corp. of America, a move that enabled him to write off hotel profits against restaurant tax credits, used the same method to take Botany textiles into everything from suntan lotion to Mad magazine, sent profits soaring for both companies until the credits ran out, whereupon disenchanted stockholders last year cut his Hotel Corp. salary...
