...managing the enterprise a condominium of the owners of local coffee shops could be installed. Napoleons from the Patisserie Gabrielle; Viennese cakes and coffee from Tulla's; espresso from the Mozart; and capuccino from Mount Aubrun 47 could serve as fare. Perhaps Jim Cronin could learn to mix Noilly Cassis for afternoon sipping and the Wursthaus could offer good Pils or bock beer...
Frozen Difference. But Labor did have one grave objection to the "partnership" plan: to provide for separate assemblies of Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots, and to invite both the Turkish and Greek governments to share a kind of condominium with Britain was to freeze differences into a permanent mold, rather than to let them work themselves out. Perhaps for this reason, the Turks, though rejecting the plan, found it reconcilable with their cries of partition. The Greeks for the same reason were considerably upset.

Next month the Sudan will hold its first general elections since independence was formally achieved two years ago. For a report, see FOREIGN NEWS. Promise on the Nile...
...British raised the Union Jack and Egypt's Crescent side by side over Khartoum, and proclaimed a weird device for joint British-Egyptian government called the Condominium. It was a formality only; the British ruled, the Egyptians did little more than pay some of the bills. In 1924 the British threw the remaining troops of their "copartner" out of the Sudan; 16 months ago, the Egyptians got equally fed up. They denounced the Condominium and proclaimed Egypt's sovereignty over the Sudan; the nationalists' outcry for the Sudan moved from Cairo's streets into the world...
