Still worried about the extremists ("Wait till those cops leave"), the moderates plan to escort the Negroes after the police stop, have "400 people we can count on." They can also count on the firm support of an aroused faculty, which is not only doing sentry duty across the campus but is also speaking out loud and clear for reason. When the state legislature introduced a resolution to censure the faculty for its stand last week, one professor snorted: "If they're serious about telling the university what the faculty has a right to say, they can have their...
...them if the old man goes, now are said to listen thoughtfully to anti-Trujillo talk. Helping their speculations along are two opposition hopes. One is that an attempt to assassinate the tyrant will succeed. In the past year, two attempts have been made: two months ago an escort car in his motorcade through the countryside was shot up and a bodyguard wounded; earlier, three army officers tried and failed to plant a bomb in his car.

A debutante, due to come out at the seventh annual Holly Ball at the Scarsdale Golf Club, had been told by the "escort subcommittee" that one of the two boys whose...
...Straying Escort. Sputtering with rage, Colonel Mobutu vowed to retaliate and to bring Kivu back under his control. But how? The only troops he could depend on were nearLéopoldville, 900 miles away, and the U.N. surely would forbid the use of trucks or planes to haul them east for an all-out invasion. No one, however, could complain when he airlifted 100 troops to Kasai as an escort for President Joseph Kasavubu on his official visit to Bakwanga, capital of the secessionist Mining State in Kasai. But soon after the heavily armed "escort" got to Kasai, the transports...
