...votes that normally would go to the P.D.P. nominee. Barring a three-way race, Negrón is slightly favored to defeat New Progressive Party Candidate Luis Ferré, a fervent advocate of statehood and the only other significant candidate. If the Popular Democratic Party should indeed splinter, the era of Muñoz and of steady commonwealth status may be ended...
...fact, Bayreuth is confronting a turning point in its history. When the composer's innovation-minded grandson Wieland Wagner died two years ago, the festival's postwar era of boldly symbolic, iconoclastic productions appeared to be over.

Most administrators and teachers are products of colonial-era training, and share with many of their students a conviction that any Africanization is a step into the past. Among the few national leaders who pushed for reform was Ghana's ex-President Kwame Nkrumah, who established an Institute of African Studies at the university after severing all ties with the University of London. In French-speaking black Africa, where early missionaries had rigidly...
