...Another factor seems to account for the federal deficiency. Nigeria's Oxford-educated elite made the tribal group their power base, appealing to ethnic sentiments rather than issues. Surely, they eased their own way to power; but Nigeria paid dearly. Tribal divisions were institutionalized in government. Leaders found their maneuverability fatally limited. Thus, Gowon, as a northern general, owed his office to Hausa support. He heeded their opposition to the confederate plan, even though his stand jeopardized an equitable sentiment...
...Publisher Donald Thorman of the National Catholic Reporter, however, is convinced that the movement will not soon disappear, largely because so many clerics have become involved. "There have been innumerable unofficial movements within the church before," he says, "but they came and went rapidly because they lacked the unifying factor of a priesthood and a liturgy of their own." He suggests that the underground cell might well become an attractive middle road between unacceptable institutionalized traditionalism and abandonment of the faith...

Besides the fact that these "most-favored areas" are yet unknown, the other main factor of uncertainty centers around the Draft Act's provisions concerning the system and order of induction. Congress permitted the President to reverse the current "oldest first" order of induction and to call 19-year olds before older men (for obvious career and family reasons); but at the same time it prohibited the President's authority to institute a random selection system (a draft lottery) which would ensure that all registrants within this age group stood an equal chance of induction...
...leaders say they wanted only to walk past the hotel. They claim the police narrowed the marching path from four lanes to two lanes at the corner just past the hotel, which caused congestion similar to that caused by a freeway's being narrowed to two driving lanes. Another factor could be that an enormous number of people who had been standing ten deep in front of the hotel waiting to see the parade, joined it when it came alongside...
