Sermon of Hate. But even as Schrijver spoke, the Congolese were tragically showing how little sense of political responsibility they have. Once again the colony's leading political party, Abako, was up to its old tricks of playing upon the superstitions of the ignorant. In the port of Matadi, 160 miles southwest of Léopoldville, 400 Congolese were suddenly overcome by hysteria after listening to a sermon by one of the many "apostles" of Kibangu, a "black savior" who died in 1951 but is expected by his followers to return one day and drive out the white...

Last month Cuban Delegate Manuel Bisbe made the first open gesture by abstaining from backing the block-Red China bloc.

...field, they are finance majors (all Bs and Cs), who fret mildly because they cannot find identical twins to date-"not even unattractive ones." But on the field, they butt heads with unalloyed pleasure. Drawls Stanford Coach Jack Curtice: "Those boys could go bear hunting with a switch and come back with meat." Admits Marlin: "We get. sheer pleasure out of football-out of knocking people down. It's just plain...
