...citizenry will bear this no longer, just like the citizens of 15th century England who rebelled against their aristocratic rulers, tired of the bloodletting and power struggles. He had just seen the Royal Shakespeare Company's (RSC) production of Henry VI. During its run, actors David Oyelowo and Chuk Iwuji - both of African origin - have been superb Kings, inhabiting the past and the present, and conveying through old conflicts the anguish of the strife now ravaging African nations, as well as the defiant optimism that may yet save them...

...wildest brawls in hockey history. When Orest Kindra-chuk of the Philadelphia Flyers and Mike Christie of the California Golden Seals were penalized for fighting earlier this season at Oakland's arena, they quickly resumed their scuffle in the penalty box. Other Flyers wasted no time charging into battle, and they were followed by some of the Seals.

Scorched Airfields. In skillfully coordinated pincers drives the Japanese sent a powerful column from Canton up the West River. With their garrison divisions leavened by 20,000 freshly landed reinforcements, the Japs made good time, taking Wuchow and pressing on to Tan-chuk, most important of the Fourteenth Air Force bases southeast of the Heng-yang-Nanning line. Like the great U.S. base at Kweilin, built by the hand labor of thousands of Chinese, Tanchuk was scorched by Chennault's airmen before they left...

...hunters, but none had seen these strange birds. Then last week his young son Stanley rushed into the house with big news-back in the hills he had seen a hajjel hen with a large brood of chicks. Kalaf went out to check for himself, and there they were "chuk-chirrring" around as if they owned the Pinal Mountains-a development which may well come about, if the agile hajjel is as tough as Kalaf thinks...
