...seem to care about the tourist revenues that he may lose. His policy reflects not only the prudish nationalism of his socialist state but a black backlash against foreigners who, Mkwang'ata claims, romanticize the Masai as "walking, talking specimens of the noble savage." However, as an English-language newspaper, the Tanzania Standard, points out, Nyerere's policy ignores one fact: "To dress lightly makes sense in the heat of the tropics...
Mary Poppins was never a junkie, no matter what the bumper stickers said, but it does seem that she will soon become a divorcee. Confirming longstanding rumors, Julie Andrews, 32, filed suit in Santa Monica, Calif., for divorce from English Stage Designer Tony Walton, 33, her husband since 1959. In a formal statement more notable for brevity than syntax, Julie explained that "the varying demands of our careers have kept Tony and I apart, placing obvious strains upon our marriage."

In a six-week battle during which both sides spent about $550,000 on advertising alone, Weinstock won about 70% of A.E.I.'s shares...
...piece. It is a jewel. In casting about for historical justifications of their actions, Walzer writes, the Puritans seized on the Biblical account of the flight from Egypt. Cromwell's Saints saw in Moses' struggle with the turpitudinous Israelites a conflict similar to their own battle with the lax English folk. Guided by this intuition he uses Biblical sources to interpret Moses' as a revolutionary leader. As might be expected, the evidence is inconclusive, the argument intriguing: Moses appears as a Weberian patriarch, doing his ferocious best to keep the means of administration under his own control, finally establishing...
