Meanwhile, under pressure from a starving economy and Castro's brutal security forces, the ragtag exodus of Cubans from their homeland continues. Last week a yachtsman off Miami rescued onetime Camagüey Province Governor Luis Casas Martinez, 36, from a raft on which he had drifted alone for twelve days after escaping from a Castro prison. Casas Martinez, whose sister fled to Florida in 1964, had once been a Castro official, but he fell into disfavor. An X tattooed over his heart marked him for death for plotting against Castro. He was the latest of more than...

Disenchanted Immigrants. Such harsh measures seem likely to cause an exodus of the immigrants, who now constitute more than half the population. Many of them had already become disenchanted with Kuwait because they are denied citizenship and have been increasingly limited in their choice of jobs by a government anxious to protect the 200,000 native (and minority) Kuwaitis. Some immigrants have sent their families back home, moved from houses into apartments and begun saving rather than spending their money.

Some students have asked why the AAAAS is not active in "civil rights" events? Some of our members are. Whether we are Black Nationalists? Whether we favor separation, integration, Pan-Africanism, socialism, revolution, exodus to...? Mr. Lerner remarked of the refreshing diversity of our viewpoints in his review of The Journal (whose contributors were neither racially nor ideologically of one complexion). This is but one reflection of the breadth and vitality of our commitment to the fullest examination of our peoples' problems. Our organization for that purpose, in this liberal academic community, should be judged by its practical fruits. James...

...British dam that will soon inundate their homes, the Masai head for dry promised land under the leadership of a conman named Moses. Moses is Robert Mitchum, a diamond smuggler and quack doctor who peddles muscle tonic to the natives, packs precious stones in his stethoscope, and conducts his exodus with the unholier-than-thou sneer of a rascal who interprets Mosaic law as the survival of the fittest. Mitchum looks most comfortable when he climbs aboard an elephant called Emily and terrorizes the bureaucrat in charge of the sluice gates of an artificial lake, whereupon the waters part...
