...film festival was as depressing as its surroundings. In fact, the event's title was a misnomer--there were only three films, all of which were documentaries. None lasted more than fifteen minutes. Whether this particular event qualified as a film festival was not of major concern, however. Its purpose was to establish a precedent, a base on which an authentic black film festival can be founded. But whether that ambition can be realized is a matter of considerable doubt...
...range kidnaping, as in the classic case of Nazi War Criminal Adolf Eichmann, whom Israeli agents spirited out of Argentina in 1960. Former Congolese Premier Moise Tshombe still sits in an Algerian jail, caught in a mid-air kidnaping in 1967.

On a larger scale, the latest Soviet-East German squeeze on West Berlin is a modern-day refinement of the ancient tactics of siege...
...black colleges in the South. It is small (enrollment is about 700), but because it is one of the better black colleges in the South its influence is out of proportion with its size.

Sood, a draftee who had gone AWOL last September because he heard that his wife was neglecting their children back home, was due for discharge at Fort Lewis, Wash., the week he was arrested...
Sitting in the darkened theatre, Leven must have felt the frustration of a pastor whose parishioners had simply stopped coming to services. Since the paid staff had been reduced to fifteen, including the five actors, three weeks ago, Leven's wife Linda had become a sort of ad hoc special assistant. Seated beside her husband, Linda launched enthusiastically into a discussion of one of her myriad duties. She explained how determined she was to develop a provocative art gallery that would serve as a stimulating gathering spot during the intermission. ("Not landscapes and classic nudes, but works that make...
