...Salaam. The railway would cost a staggering $200 million or so, but Nyerere seems as interested in pushing it through as is Kaunda. It would turn Dar es Salaam into East Africa's busiest port, open up a massive, uninhabited southern region that is known to contain valuable coal deposits. Besides, Nyerere would like to break his own dependence on the East African Common Market, now dominated by Kenya and Uganda. "We want to build this railway line," said Kaunda.

The next - and for four nights after that - marauding mobs in the Negro suburb of Watts pil laged, burned and killed, while 500 po licemen and 5,000 National Guardsmen struggled vainly to contain their fury.

...baron's plane touched down at Brussels' airport, his brother rushed to tell him that the marble-columned 18th century mansion that had housed the venerable Banque Lambert for three generations had burned to the ground. But the old building had long since become too cramped to contain the mushrooming Lambert operation, which in the past ten years has quintupled deposits to $203 million and added 26 branches.
