PHOTOGRAPHER Priya Ramrakha, whose pictures have illustrated many of TIME's stories- most recently those about the Nigerian civil war and the occupation of Czechoslovakia- was anxious to get out of Africa. He was a British citizen born of Indian parents, and he no longer felt wholly welcome in his native Kenya, which lately has turned against people of Asian origin.

His own surprisingly shifting views of civil rights and Negroes, of WASPS and Nixon seem to reflect the national mood...
Died. Sir Ambrose Sherwill, 78, longtime bailiff (civil head) of the Channel island of Guernsey, which, with the isles of Jersey, Sark and Alderney, was the only bit of Britain occupied by the Nazis during World War II; in Guernsey. Guernsey was "taken" in 1940 by the crews of four transport planes.
