...Bahutus now demand a republic-like the one their fellow tribesmen achieved in neighboring Rwanda after overthrowing a Watutsi king in 1959. But Burundi's Watutsis are as determined as ever to continue in the ascendancy they now enjoy. Not surprisingly, the Mwami's men dealt harshly with last week's rebels.

An occasion it certainly was, presaging as it did one of the few defeats dealt Lyndon Johnson by the prodigiously productive 89th Congress...
