Economically, Nigeria needs the East far more than the East needs it. Ojukwu complains that his region contributes 35% of the nation's tax revenues and gets back only 14% in federal outlays. With coal reserves, a palm-oil industry and abundant oil along the coast near Port Harcourt, the East has the potential to go it alone as a viable state. Its population of 12 million (including 9,000,000 Ibos) is larger than that of either Kenya or Ghana...
...naked woman, body-painted like a Tiffany lamp shade, decorates the latest ads for Casino Royale; dust jackets for Madame Sarah and Louis Auchincloss' Tales of Manhattan look like so much leftover Alfons Mucha. From coast to coast, be-ins, folk-rock festivals, art galleries and department-store sales are now advertised in posters and layouts done in a style that is beginning to be called Nouveau Frisco. Unmistakably a vapor from the seething psychedelic dreamland of The Haight-Ashbury district (TIME, March 17), Nouveau Frisco currently has as its foremost practitioner Robert Wesley Wilson...
Since 1956, the U.S. king-crab catch has grown from barely 9,000,000 lbs. to 150 million lbs.; it is expected to keep rising by 20% a year for the foreseeable future. Most popular on the East Coast, the king crab averages a 4-ft. claw-to-claw spread. Its claw and leg meat (the body is not used) is somewhat tougher than blue crab, tastes remarkably like lobster, and retails at $2 per lb., which is far cheaper than either...
...philosophy: It's not who wins that matters, but how you play the game. In addition, there are immediate practical benefits. For instance, there are thousands of Harvard alumni in California who never get to see their basketball team play. A game at U.C.L.A. would provide long-desired West-Coast exposure, but up to now the embarrassment of a score like 110-28 blotting the Crimson ledger has outweighed the advantages. And with its Boston Irish-surroundings, Harvard has always been considered a "natural" football opponent of Notre Dame. But again, fear of a lopsided score has prevented the match...
...Oxford English Dictionary: "Cool it," "bug out," "put on," "stay loose." Lynda did uncover one fairly recondite turn of phrase. To "turn your E.B. up to Mother" means to "turn your electric blanket up to the highest temperature; hence, return to the womb and security (chiefly West Coast...
