...reality not of paper, but one that lives within us ... and nourishes a source of insatiable creativity, full of sorrow and beauty." The problem, said the novelist, was how to tell the story. The region's writers found solutions in aesthetic imports: French surrealism, the journalistic devices of Dos Passes and Hemingway, and the narrative techniques of cinema...
...doomed without an unaffordable injection of at least $5 million for circulation and promotion. For months he had tried to merge with another magazine, to sell SR, or even to give it away. Potential buyers were at first intrigued about acquiring a magazine that had published T.S. Eliot, John Dos Passes, James Thurber and G.K.

U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Chester Crocker had previously met with...
...reason for wanting to rid themselves of the Cubans. The impoverished Luanda government must pay the troops in precious hard currency. Moreover, the Cubans have not succeeded in stamping out the resistance of Jonas Savimbi, a South African-backed rebel whose forces roam free in much of southern Angola. Dos Santos evidently believes a Cuban withdrawal will bring in significant Western economic aid to exploit Angola's vast mineral resources. But any withdrawal of the Cubans would leave open to question the fate of Savimbi and his antigovernment forces. Says one U.S. analyst: "There are many divisions among Angolans...
